Android Data Stealing Vulnerability discovered.

Is your android not yet ready to protect your phone data ??? Yes, according to revelation by a security researcher. One researcher found out a way to exploit a loop hole to bypass into your phone and that can be used to steal data.

Xuxian Jiang, an assistant professor at North Carolina State University, discovered the bug while working on what he described as an Android-related project. The flaw, he wrote in an advisory, impacts Android 2.3 and is of the same nature as a vulnerability uncovered last year by researcher Thomas Cannon on Android 2.2.
