Damned, Evil Wallpaper
I, of course, reference this story only because I kind of missing using the damned, evil headline every once in a while.
Enjoy.
A malicious Android Market app has reportedly been downloaded by millions of users, according to mobile security firm Lookout. The app, developed by Jackeey Wallpaper, offers a variety of wallpapers including branded content such as My Little Pony and Star Wars.
Aside from providing backgrounds, the utility quietly collects personal information such as SIM card numbers, text messages, subscriber identification, and voicemail passwords.
Must see if darling wife has this installed on her Droid…

Not to mention Damned Evil spammers.
Do seem to be getting more than my fair share lately, don’t I?
They love you.
I really like my Droid, but I can’t say I see the appeal of a wallpaper app. I don’t even use wallpaper on any of my computers (work or home).
Technology has finally advanced to the point that the walls CAN speak.
