It is interesting because there was concern about rooted phones, especially for people like me, because I left ADB debug mode on. For the uninitiated, this USB bridge is like a serial connection that can, among a lot of things, open a terminal on the device.
The newest versions of ADB mode in Android have settings to address this. But at the time this was a big deal in the Android community (or I should say XDA), one recognized dev developed an app for it.

I am glad all phone platforms are getting wise to these things.
