It seems that the version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread has a small flaw on security, so that through the web browser integrated into the operating system is possible, visiting a site created ad hoc, download the full content of the Micro User, in taking all the data it contains. A security issue like this in a previous release.
Xuxian Jiang, a researcher at North Carolina State University, found a small flaw in the Android mobile operating system 2.3 Gingerbread. Thanks to a vulnerability in the integrated browser, and using a specially created website using malicious JavaScript code, you can copy the entire contents of the memory card of the terminal, so going to steal sensitive data that can be photos, images, videos and in the case also coordinates and banking credentials.
The same Xuxian Jiang admits that solving the problem at the moment would be necessary to remove the microSD disable Javascript from the browser, or use another browser than the one built into the operating system.
