So much for Ballmer's claims that WP8 was secure....

I think that Windows Phone 7 was also not secure. Not much devs knew how to use the full potential of the OS but now some are trying their tricks to get into this OS. There was no virus for WP so... it was secure for sure for that time but now it is the time to change ;)

Good, we need "ethical hackers" like this to expose (but not exploit) security holes to help the company keep its systems safe.

It's ok. Most talented people aren't prodigies. If have the will, dedication, urge, you can become anything.

I was able to hack and modify Windows 98 when I was 13, and Microsoft gave a free MSDN subscription for life. They even used some of my tweaks in 98 SE (though I didn't get credit or compensation for them, but I probably violated the EULA so no worries). Haven't had much chance to use the subscription of late though.

I like him but him and eflop both have big mouths.

You must be one of the FEW. I personally can't believe he's still employed by M$, and what's more, put in the public eye so often!

hey just because a few people cracked doesn't mean it isn't completly uncsecure? just saying

would you agree that blackberry is sevure? well like one person jailbroke it

44. plgladio posted on 16 Nov 2012, 20:25 1 0

Exactly that's what I'm trying to say here, nothing in this world is correct, then why he is blabbering about other OS?

18. lubba posted on 16 Nov 2012, 09:47 1 0

He's already cracked. Of all the things he and many other prodigies could do with their gift. You know we live in a large multiverse. If I had there brains I would work hard to build a warp drive, wormhoe or what not to travel the stars, find new discoveries, know where I came from and why I'm here.

Envious are we?

haha, that is the funniest, if you want to crack and infect virus on any other os, the whole population in China can do it without even understanding the firmware. To crack a Windows phone, it has to be a "supergenius" from a super intelligent race to do it. And I'm sure you were able to figure that out before even making that comment, how smart of you, genius, tsk tsk...
