I reckon that securing software is a thankless job. Few of us on the user side of things truly understand it. The day-to-day, I imagine, is not particularly sexy. But here we are, at the beginning of the end of Android, apparently. At the point of no return for ... well, whatever point you're trying to make.
Only, not really. Or, rather, not any more than just a few weeks ago, when the annual hype ahead of the BlackHat security conference began in earnest. Or two years ago, when when the "StageFright" flaw was already several years old, unnoticed (and unexploited, by most accounts) deep in the heart of the operating system.
And therein lies the Catch-22. Can a critical security issue — and make no mistake, Stagefright falls into that category — truly be critical if we don't actually need to panic over it? And if we don't panic over it, will it be taken seriously?
