Android security hole getting patched
Nice job of Google patching up a security hole. Previously, you were exposed to a security hole if you were connecting over an open, unsecured wifi network.
Your Android Phone is probably hackable. Uh oh
I’ve got a Sprint EVO 4G phone myself so this article is of particular interest. I’ve not gone into the details but I will, and I suggest you do too! It seems that there’s a good chance of a security risk if you’re connected to a public, unsecured wifi network. So until this gets fixed, Just Say No to free unsecured wifi and continue using your 3G/4G network for connectivity.
The vast majority of devices running Google’s Android operating system are vulnerable to attacks that allow adversaries to steal the digital credentials used to access calendars, contacts, and other sensitive data stored on the search giant’s servers, university researchers have warned.

Sony Playstation Security Nightmare Continues
Now we’re getting conflicting reports about Sony Playstation Network credit cards. Hackers imply they have possession. Sony denies it. If you were on PSN, either change your credit card number or watch that bill very, very closely for the next 12 months
Your PlayStation Network credit card might be safe
I’m looking for some good news in this complete disaster for Sony. According to this article, it’s possible your credit card information wasn’t exposed. One key thing to remember is that if you are like most users, you use the same password on a lot of different websites. If this is the case, it’s quite possible that your email and password is in the hands of hackers right now. I would go to all your key sites, like facebook, gmail, etc, and change the password immediately. Post any additional comments to to share with others here. Good luck!

Your iPhone is recording your location
This is very troubling. Why would Apple purposely record, store, and even backup your location data? No answer yet, but that won’t be the case for long. Public outcry will demand Apple answer to this and I can’t imagine a trivial justification for this massive privacy invasion and security risk.
