Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Which is interesting, because this news coincides with an
open letter to security research and vulnerability disclosure
communities from the Android Security Team which admits that building the platform has been "a difficult task."
It goes on to confess "While we have found and
fixed many of our own bugs as well as flaws in other open source
projects, we realize that the discovery of additional security issues
in a system this large and complex is inevitable."
Which is why the security team has taken the bold decision to reach out
to the security researcher community and ask for help. "We do
appreciate and encourage responsible disclosure" it says "especially
since Android will be deployed on many different devices that will
require a large amount of coordination to patch."
In effect the team are saying hack Android and help us fix it. "Help
from security researchers in the form of usable bug reports and
responsible time lines will greatly assist us in securing the ecosystem
of Android devices as quickly as possible."
Android vulnerability bulletins will credit responsible reporters of any flaws.
