Just did a bit of research on this re the trickle out of more info about the bug: affecting Android devices. Turns out the largest user base, Jellybean 4.1.1 is affected and still no patch. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-news-depot/66538-heartboned-why-google-needs-reclaim-android-updates.html This happens to be the version installed on the inexpensive tablets from Aldi (I bought one late last year). Plus the Google staff are only saying they will advise their Android partners. All well and good, but how will those partners advise their end customers, like me? http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/google-services-updated-to-address.html I have changed some passwords on critical accounts, like gmail which I hardly ever use, but is my Google overall password because of their integration approach, and Amazon. But if the os is buggy, doesn't seem like that's worth much now/yet/ I've never had to update an Android system before, so have no idea how that happens. Apps seem to take care of themselves automatically, but Android??? Any further advice? I can't seem to find what I'm looking for on this beyond the above.
