No operating system is safe from security breaches. In Windows Phone, the latest one is related to how the system interprets a simple SMS text message. As we reported yesterday, a user discovered a bug that allows you to remotely restart the smartphone without the user having to avoid the procedure.
Today MSFT has acknowledged the security flaw.
According to the The Verge, Microsoft said it was investigating what is happening with Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango". The general manager for the mobile platform division said: "We are aware of the issue and our engineering teams are now examining. Once we have more details, we will take appropriate action to ensure that consumers are protected. "
Behind all the language adopted by the corporate executive, we have confirmation of a serious problem in the system so beloved by MSFT. The user responsible for the discovery made a great favor to the Redmond company informed while avoiding any kind of detail on the operation of the fault. We even have video proving it works, but do not know how. With luck, only Microsoft engineers will learn the subject.
More likely is that MSFT send an automatic update for smartphones running the Mango.
