Almost one billion Android users vulnerable to security bug

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and ... ug-1280264

Not good considering Jelly Bean only arrived in 2012. And that's putting it mildly. Also, considering how often my phone insists on connecting to the fcuking Play store...

There are still new devices being sold with Jellybean, although most new phones are onto KitKat by now.

60% of google play accessible android devices in circulation are running jellybean or earlier. Just under 10% are still running android 2

.

In comparison

4% of un-jailbroken iDevices are running ios 6 or earlier.
