Shane Macaulay and Riley Hassell were all set to go on stage at Black Hat and describe several methods of hacking Android devices. But they never appeared: in the last minute they decided not to disclose the vulnerabilities they discovered. Why? "To avoid an unacceptable risk to consumers window throughout the world and to guarantee the loans, where he was."
As a very white hat! Yes indeed, Hassel and Macaulay were worried that going public with these vulnerabilities can lead to scientific discussion and plugging security hole, but holiday Haq as millions of mobile phones succumbed to an unpatched exploits. They also learned just before going onstage, opening them can replicate some of the earlier findings, and they wanted to make sure they have proper confirmation. So they no-showed.
What is vulnerability? They are not telling just yet. And according to Google, "identified no errors appear in Android." is very Illuminating! About this, we'll see, I am sure.
In the news these days, that I felt just right to draw attention to a couple of guys to do things right so much a relic of hackers and hacks. That happiness will fix this security hole (which does not exist), and we will all be a little more next week.
