If you think we have something to worry about when it comes to hacking HTC phones, then I don't know what to tell you. But I will point out that for all of the talk about how hard it is to hack them, every single one has been hacked, with most of them being hacked before it was even released. If HTC was trying to put a stop to that, it would have been stopped years ago.

What other HTC phone has a signed locked bootloader and signed recovery image in the past?
Also its not a carrier thing as International versions of new phones are carrying these protections as well..
Aka the trend is every generation, unlocking has become harder and harder...right now the tbolt and incredible s are locked down on par with Droid X...the next generation by trend will be even more locked down by trend.

Not only could HTC implement the e-fuse that would essentially kill all hacking if they wanted to, but they would be issuing orders to sites like this one and xda that openly pass their Sense software around. The fact that none of that has happened over the years should tell you that there is nothing to worry about.
