Google Defends Google Wallet App, despite its HUGE security vulnerability

Two days ago, We posted about Google Wallet HUGE security vulnerability hat effects all users regardless of if they are rooted or not, but Google has come forward to say there is nothing wrong with the product and anyone who is at risk of losing sensitive Google Wallet data is someone who made a specific decision to lower their entire phone security, and it is their problem.


Google also announced that its Wallet app is Safe to use and this round of bad publicity should not be taken out of proportion.

Google Official comment on this:


"Google Wallet is protected by a PIN as well as the phone lock screen, if a user sets that option. But sometimes users choose to disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system-level "root" access to their phone; we strongly discourage doing so if you plan to use Google Wallet because the product is not supported on rooted phones,".
