Fake Angry Birds level exposes Android security hole

Android owners ought to be angrier than birds! A fake level for the ever-popular mobile game Angry Birds was released on the Android Market, and it exposes serious vulnerabilities in the mobile Google operating system.

Lucky for those duped, however, no Androids were harmed - it was only a demo created by Jon Oberheide, the chief technical officer of se𒆙curity company Scio Security.

Oberheide put up antrojan that disguised itself as an official Angry Birds app, andwas able to bypass Android security measures once ins🔯talled. Google has since pulled it from the Market.
