Google has confirmed the recent ClientLogin issue that left the Android OS vulnerable to impersonation attacks. As we know, Google really loves their OS and has alread stared rolling out a Server side fix for the issue and should cover all Android users in the next 48 hours. On the other hand, Calendars , Contacts and Picasa accounts are still vunerable Phone-side and need to be updated to OS 2.3.4 to be eligible for a fix that Google has included in the update.

The funny thing is that in most parts of the world, Especially in India, a majority of Android users are on 2.2 / 2.1 or even lower, and these users will remain exposed to the security flaw.
