We’re sure Bit9 is talking its own book here but the infographic below is an interesting read nonetheless. This seems a bit harsh to us considering that the 2011 Xperia line-up is only on Android 2.3.4. The last firmware for the X10 was 2.3.3 and the latest from Google is 2.3.7 (ignoring ICS for now). They suggest this means that “ security vulnerabilities are not being maintained, bugs are not being patched, and loopholes in your system are being left open“. I’m unsure of the exact methodology Bit9 use to determine which phones are most vulnerable but the version of Android and timeliness of updates appears to play a part. The most vulnerable device is the Samsung Galaxy Mini according to the report, with the HTC Desire in second place. The list compromises “ devices that pose the most serious security and privacy risk to consumers and corporations“. Security specialists Bit9 has released a new report that suggests the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is the third most vulnerable smartphone.
