The cellphone maker HTC finally admitted days ago that many of its Android smartphone handsets have long had a “critical” bug that seriously affected its Wi-Fi security—a claim that researchers told them about as far back as last September. Not only that, now HTC has admitted that it's deliberately kept it quiet for five months. The flaw affects recent devices like the Thunderbolt and EVO 4G handsets, and also older models like the Desire HD. Customers will have to check the HTC support website for a manual update next week.
