> According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect “audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.”

This a perfectly useless bit of information in that it says nothing about how this penetration could occur. Pretty much anything can be cracked with a trojan. Something like a currently valid remove exploit would be a much bigger deal.

I could say that all the secure apps are broken because I can stand behind you and look over your shoulder while listening to anything you might say.
