Android users beware.
Researchers across the globe have discovered a huge security hole when it comes to certain Google services on Android devices.
The vulnerability occurs when users log in with their usernames and passwords which are sent to Google over an encrypted connection to which Google sends back an authentication token.
Google apps like Calendar and Contact use this token to retrieve contacts and update calendars, but the connection it seems is unencrypted.
Hackers can then easily steal these tokens over an open Wi-Fi connection and use them to impersonate you.
The vulnerability seems to have been fixed in versions 2.3.4 and higher but 99% of Android users are not running this version and have to wait for their manufacturers or carriers to update their software.

It doesn't, for example, require cops to obtain a search warrant to peruse your cellphone's previous whereabouts.

A new report out says that 24% of internet traffic during peak periods comes now from Netflix.
While this isn't a surprise given the rise of Netflix' Watch Instantly, the news is breaking because it is for the first time that Netflix beats BitTorrent traffic overall on the internet.
