HAS YOUR CELLPHONE BEEN HACKED?

Over 55% of android cellphones have been hacked, according to a recent release from KOMANDO.COM.  First there was Stagefright, followed soon after by Certifi-gate. Both infect your Android smartphones and tablets with malware that lets cyber-attackers take control of your Android device, opening the door for hackers to steal your personal information.  Now, IBM has issued a warning for another Android security flaw. It's called the CVE-2015-3825 and affects android phones with version 4.3 or higher. 

COMMENTS:
I know that a whole lot of people out there have private, confidential and sensitive information on their android smart phones.  People do banking, order goods and services and store sensitive information in order to be able to do so.  I’ve said it time and time again… don’t do it.  Stick to desk tops and laps tops and keep their anti-virus softwares up-to-date.  I don’t store bank account user names and passwords anywhere except on a piece of paper and I do not have automatic sign-ins.  Insects are not the only bad bugs around. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What happens if we turn down Iran’s nuclear deal and other nations do not?  (Fergie ~ Park City, UT)
A. Our sanctions against Iran continue and we keep their $150 billion.  Theoretically, they would have to reduce their nuclear stockpiles and open their doors to inspections upon 24 day notice to the IAEA for the other nations, but you and I both know that’s a farce. 

Q. I understand there may be a “Constitutional Convention?”  Just what is that and what does this mean?  (Boris ~ Durango, CO)
A. There are two ways to amend or change the Constitution: (1) 2/3 of both houses of congress propose it and ¾ of the states ratify it, or (2) 34 state legislatures call for a Constitutional Convention where they meet and propose amendments and then 38 of the state legislatures must ratify.  The convention method has not been used since 1787.  The big push on right now is to amend the Constitution to require balanced budgets.  The problem is that no one in Washington has ever been taught how to balance a budget. 

Q. Do I understand that Obama has found a way to secretly fund Planned Parenthood?  (Carlotta ~ New Brunswick, NJ)
A. The State of New Hampshire decided to withhold funding for PP.  Immediately thereafter, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded a non-competitive Title X grant for “Family Planning” to the agency.  As Obama and his sicko friends would say, “There’s more than one way to skin a fetus.”
