What should we do, take phones away from people?
Sure, some (not all) Android users might get fooled into downloading an app, answering a malicious email, or going to a fake website.

They actually were calling her and threatening to call her work, etc. It was obviously a scam given that she had no debt (and even did an Equifax credit check to make sure). But she's young and it freaked her out a bit. Imagine that scenario multiplied. It's disgusting, imho.
And that's just using the phone and paper mail. Point being, that is an analog equivalent of malware in the real world. And given the number of vulnerable seniors, probably more effective, imho.MBrettH likes this.08-08-16 06:05 PMLike 1 - Sued for errrrr....copying?

No idea why you are trying to embarrass yourself like this.Jerry A likes this.08-08-16 06:08 PMLike 1 - OK, geez. I guess I'm not the Jason borne type guys that everyone else here is.
My scenario was not with someone who has high security on there mind 24/7 just the average consumer.
Does no one else think it would be an easy and good thing to password out ?

As a consumer, you have every right to share your phone with whomever you choose. As an employee, you have no right whatsoever to put enterprise resources at risk.
You don't have to live a Jason Bourne life to inadvertently harm your employer. Here are some of the most common scenarios:
1) An internal sales report, pricing information, or marketing plan in an email is made available to a competitor or the press.
2) Confidential HR information is released, such as a hiring, disciplinary or performance document.
3) Intellectual property or other protected information, such as product design, computer code, algorithms, patentable inventions, legal advice, etc. Is exposed.
4) Enterprise resource names and addresses are exposed, including email and other server IPs, folder names and locations, etc.
5) Consumers' data often provides leads to passwords that may be used both in their personal lives and at work, enabling the kinds of social engineering that are behind most high level enterprise hacks.
Most people have no idea just how pervasive corporate and foreign government sponsored espionage is, and how much of it is targeted at "average" employees who do not routinely have access to the most important data, but whose data can be used to map out IT infrastructure to probe for weaknesses.
There are tens (or more likely) hundreds of thousands of professional hackers employed to do this work in China, Russia and many other countries.
This is not a criticism of your response or your willingness to share your phone, which is pretty typical. But it shows why enterprise security and MDM is so much more important than most consumers know, and why Blackberry''s corporate strategy makes so much sense.

And certainly not anyone who would go into my settings, go to the security setup, turn off a security feature that has a warning, then install a malicious app on purpose.08-08-16 06:28 PMLike 2 -

Would be great if Samsung did their own Hub and integrated it with the Smart TVs and VR
I've enjoyed you clutching at straws so unsuccessfully, you even had to change subjects when you ran out of rubbish to spew on updates.

This has nothing to do with that. It is a bug in the Qualcomm chip that affects all phones which use it, irrespective of OS.
My point is, the same as Chen's when he joined BlackBerry, that you cannot provide software security without controlling the hardware chain from design, through manufacturing through hardware verification and then software.
You have to be vertically integrated...or else you suffer from the weakest link problem, as proven here.
Either way it wouldn't matter. The remediation is a known quantity (updated drivers and related code).
Even if BlackBerry was making their own phones this could still be an issue for them. They never designed their own chips. They sourced chips and drivers from Qualcomm.
For all we know, this bug could exist in BB10 but hasn't been remediated since security researches haven't discovered/disclosed (no money in BB10 bug bounties).08-08-16 07:12 PMLike 4 -
