I think some rogue app on my phone used my Hotmail account to spam my contacts yesterday. Nothing quite as awkward as spamming ex boyfriends with links on how to enhance their sexual performance lol.
It bothers me that I really don't know how it happened. My PC checks clean and I was surfing a few different apps on my phone at the time, so that's why I blame that. I've uninstalled some iffy apps and enabled a program that's supposed to help guard against that. Is there a Norton type of thing for Android phones?#birdsarentreal

Deb, I discussed this with my son who went through a security class in college recently. Did those apps you were testing come from the android market app? All of the market apps are supposed to be checked. Or, if you were browsing to Hotmail (Facebook, etc) on a public wifi, your credentials can be picked up as you type them in over the public wifi. Never sit in a Starbucks and go to your password protected sites. It is too easy to pick up credentials at the router with a sniffer.
I keep my wifi toggled off on my phone unless I am on a trusted network.

I worked on most of the projects surrounding and involving the volts at those booths. The connectivity, energy management, and "green" stuff.
Unfortunately I won't be going to CES to see it all in action (but let me know if they were displayed well if you liked it).Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

Toying with getting this phone and the $35 per month plan with unlimited data, web messaging and email with 300 talk minutes. Has anyone used Virgin Mobile that can comment on how good or bad they are?
