HTC has acknowledged that a software flaw on some of its Android phones means that they openly offer security credentials across the wifi networks they connect to.


Apparently the flaw affects the following devices:

Desire HD – Versions FRG83D, GRI40
Glacier – Version FRG83
Droid Incredible – Version FRF91
Thunderbolt 4G – Version FRG83D
Sensation Z710e – Version GRI40
Sensation 4G – Version GRI40
Desire S – Version GRI40
EVO 3D – Version GRI40
EVO 4G – Version GRI40
