At the Schmoocon hacker conference in Washington D.C., Charlie Miller, security researcher presented a new vulnerability in Google's mobile OS Android, which lets hackers take control of the phone's web browser and other processes from a remote location. Once an individual's phone has been compromised the hackers are capable of gaining access to saved credentials stored in the browser and the browsers history.
