Here.
I never thought of the Vodaphone as being all that anyway, but I'm not into Android anything, either.
Is there a reason I put this in Open Source? Should I move it? To where?
Okay, done, moved to where I thought it would get the most exposure... ? And a temporary sticky too. If you think that's too much, please let me know. Thanks!

Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
I think this deserves to be on the frontpage of the News. Not sure if it is Linux or Win news though

Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
That's interesting. I wonder where the bug got injected?
Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
It is my understanding that the hardware/software was manipulated before it hit the market.
"Last week, three people were arrested in Spain on charges of operating a massive botnet composed of 12.7 million PCs that stole credit card and bank log-in data and infected computers in half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 banks. The botnet was dubbed "Mariposa," which means butterfly in Spanish."

So does that mean I can un-sticky this thread now?

That would be linux news, after all android uses the linux kernel and the gpl license for the software ^^

Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
Yes I guess you are right, It could be "unsticked" now. And what say you moderator should we move it ?

Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
Sorry b1o but I don't call the Android phone (which is a bunch of googlified nonsense to me anyway) Linux.
Plus the fact that it's a phone we're talking about here.
Moving to General.

Re: Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
Hehe it's not a GNU/Linux disto, i agree on that one ^^
It uses the Linux kernel so i guess it has something do with linux, I have an android phone and i love it but i would not call it linux as you don't have the same freedoms as on your computer, though i think it would be unlikely to achieve the same result in a phone
So no argument from me, fits well in the general news, but windows news would have been wrong as it has nothing to do with windows ^^
