It would appear that some of HTC’s Android smartphones may have a major security hole, according to a recent report by Trevor Eckhart and the guys over at Android Police.
According to the report, the security hole may be in certain HTC devices which have been updated to the latest version of HTC’s Sense user interface, and could grant apps with Internet permission access to your private data like text messages and location information.
Some of the devices which are reported to be effected include the HTC EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Thunderbolt, Evo Shift 4G, MyTouch 4G Slide and possibly some models of the HTC Sensation.
It would appear HTC hasn’t released any official statement with regards to the alleged vulnerabilities as yet, you can find out more information over at Android Police.
