One thing I always love about people that dismiss this idea.. its not always about reaching out to a lot of people.. its not always about being malacious..

I tell you right now.. if I HAD the skill to do it.. I would.. for a few reasons..

1.) proof of concept - just because your on a phone doesnt make you safe.

2.) the amount of data you can get.. or I should say the quality of data.. I dont have to infect a million people. I just need to infect a few people with the right data on their device.. a lot of people carry their entire lives on thier phone.. most dont protect it because they do not believe the phone will ever fall into the wrong hands.. or fail.. or whatever.. hell Im guilty of it.. I have some of my most important passwords that I dont use daily on my phone in an un-encrptyed excel file... to extent I feel like most.. nothing will ever happen.. but at the same time.. I make a backup and change the passwords frequent enough that if it does get lost.. they wont get in long..

The bottom line here is.. the better these phones get -- the more possible it will become to get into them.. he has all rights to worry.. its only going to take 1 person to do it and they will bring a whole system down.. look at the iphone - rick roll worm.. ya it was totally harmless.. but it could have been a LOT worse..

Just because there isnt one publized, doesnt mean it doesnt exsist.
