 :shock:

Android has the Stagefright vulnerability, due to that media system having too many privileges.

Smartwatches don't have enough strong authentication features, over-reliance on cloud for storage.

And the iPhones? There's a new appstore vulnerability: "Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent redirect to external sources and persistent manipulation of affected or connected service module context."

There are LOTS of known vulnerabilities for caves, as well as torches. One of the first advisories issued was, "Watch out for bears in caves!" Hot on the heels of that one - pun very intended - was, "Fire can burn things that you might not want to have burned!" They're right up there with "Don't eat those kinds of berries" and "Don't poop where you eat" as security advisories that we likely inherited from pre-modern strains of humanity.

Guess its about time we get this quantum encryption up and running. Figure out site to site quantum entanglement communication.

Good news on the Apple front: Apple issued a patch to fix the iStore thing.
