Hackers have found a way to circumvent controls in the Google Android operating system used on T-Mobile's G1 mobile phone, allowing them to get

The hack gives G1 users a way to read data on parts of the phone that are
normally walled off and could be used to install new programs, or even a new operating system, on the mobile phone. Currently, programs for the open

06.11.2008G1 cellular phone security bug
This week a security hole was discovered in Linux-based G1 cellular phone Android 1.0 that allowed you to gain root access to the device.
The trick was that you have to start up a telnetd server on the phone, and then anyone who knows your IP address can log into the machine without a
password to an administrator account.
When the phone booted it started up a command shell as root and sent every keystroke you ever typed
on the keyboard from then on to that shell. Thus every word you typed, in addition to going to the foreground application would be silently and
invisibly interpreted as a command and executed with superuser privileges.
