US CERT has identified about 3,400 Android apps to date that do not properly 
validate SSL certificates, leaving them open to MITM attacks.  Possible 
outcomes are credential stealing or arbitrary code generation.  Of these about 
250 apps are very popular, i.e. over 1 million downloads, and include apps such 
as Galaxy S5 Live Wallpaper, Slide Show Creator, Windows Live Hotmail Push, 
FriendCaster Chat, DISH Anywhere, Kim Kardashian, among many others.  Appears 
that CERT will announce many more apps that fail SSL validation over the 
following months.

What is the mobile industry doing about this?



To check your apps, you can download the free Belarc Security Advisor from 
Google Playstore.  Currently covers about 900 of the vulnerable apps and 
updates will include future vulnerable apps.  Details are here:
