99% of Android phones are vulnerable

Android operating system is gaining ground every day. Almost no longer having their producer to his portfolio an Android, but with the popularity and problems arise. Android becomes progressively target hackers trying to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive data.Researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany have discovered a bug in Android operating system, through which a hacker can access the information contained in the accounts of Google, Facebook and Twitter from your phone.When the user accesses such as Facebook, to avoid repeated logins, Android operating system creates the so-called token valid for 14 days, which uniquely identifies that terminal. Due to a vulnerability in the protocol ClientLogin, hackers are able to access token, which you can later use to synchronize the data on our behalf. The token can be stolen only if the user uses an unprotected WiFi connection, such as those available in bars and airports.It seems that Google is aware of this vulnerability has already been solved by an update to Android Gingerbread 2.3.4. That means that virtually all terminals with version 2.3.3 or lower Android suffers from this problem, ie no more, no less than 99% of Android handsets.
