MrHappy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 The danger from the loophole remains theoretical because, as yet, there is no evidence that it is being exploited by cyber-thieves.One other hurdle is that in order to catch out Android users, malicious hackers would have to get their booby-trapped version of a legitimate application on to the Google Play store Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichL Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 File not found. EFA Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'

Joe Harris Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I can see some potential in the Win8 / Windows phone layouts even if all of my mates hate it.
