As the researchers demonstrated in their talk, this gives the attacker access to the Android phone’s SQLite database, allowing them to view, for example, a victim’s texts or contacts. It’s also possible to remotely read the device’s current GPS coordinates and to make outgoing calls without this being shown on the display.

Disclosure: I use AppBrain. I find it very useful to browse apps online & then easily sync/install on my Captivate. Looks like they’ve been pretty hard at work filtering out the crap, though, & have some interesting things to say on the state of the Android Market. Apparently, out of the total 70,000 apps that Google states are available, the number of craptacular apps has risen from 30% in March to 50% today. Yep, 20% increase in 4 months. Thankfully, they’re working to improve their search algorithm to filter these spam-tastic apps from their search results. My question is: why isn’t Google taking up the lead on this? Kudos to AppBrain for their efforts.
Hackers exploited the 3 major browsers on day one of Pwn2Own. As expected, IE8, FireFox and Safari were all penetrated within minutes of the competition starting.
Most impressively, Peter Vreugdenhil, was able to exploit a vulnerability in IE8 on Windows 7 allowing him to bypass the operating systems DEP (Data Execution System) security mechinism designed to stop this sort of attack. Vreugdenhil, a first time Pwn2Own participant, earned a $10,000 prize for his efforts.
The only browser left standing after day one was Google Chrome.

Yesterday, about 10.2 MILLION blogs fell off the face of the planet for just Under 2 hours when WordPress.com experienced it’s first major outage in four years. In all, about 5.5 million pageviews lost in those 110 minutes of downtime.
According to Matt Mullenweg, the downtime was caused by an unscheduled “core router” change at one of WordPress.com’s datacenter providers. I find it fascinating that a core router change at one data center broke failover mechanisms that should have shifted services over to another working DC. True to Automattic’s slogan, “Inspired by you, Striving to create good, Nothing is perfect.”, it seem someone was less than perfect in designing their failover system… and then forgot to test it.

BGR has it on good authority that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will definitely be showing up at AT&T “Pretty Soon”. Expected to sell at $199 with a two year contract.

This one seems rather minor, but could be an issue for some sites. WordPress 2.9.2 fixes a problem with registered users being able to “peek” into your trash. Nothing I’ll be getting my panties bunched up over, but since the upgrade process is like 2 clicks and a password, just do it!
