MrHappy Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 The danger from the loophole remains theoretical because, as yet, there is no evidence that it is being exploited by cyber-thieves.One other hurdle is that in order to catch out Android users, malicious hackers would have to get their booby-trapped version of a legitimate application on to the Google Play store Mr Veritas God
