There is cause for Android, rather all this mess is due to HTC, the thought of different registration information such as email addresses, SMS data, location, phone numbers , system logs and more smartphones.
In their latest devices, such as 3D EVO, EVO 4G, Touch and lightning, HTC has been criticized for extensive logging of user data - which is now exhibited in any application that has access to the network.
A team has discovered that AndroidPolice updates for the latest HTC phones may collect and store data, which is good on the road, but very dangerous because anyone can write an application to access the data.
In summary, the data on your phone can be made available to potential operators can use their own way. Another tragedy is that there is no way to recognize these applications can leverage their personal data.
For example, an innocent-looking game that apparently has access to the Internet to post their high scores can access your private information and the publication of new exploiters.
How to avoid:
To get rid of this vulnerability requires root of your device, in order to eliminate Htcloggers (can be found in / system / app / HtcLoggers.apk).
Staying safe and not download suspicious applications. Of course, even the quality of applications seeking silence can capture and send this data, but the possibility is less.
