Updated 5:17 p.m. ET July 27: Google Issues Statement

After this story aired, Google said: "We thank Joshua Drake for his contributions. The security of Android users is extremely important to us and so we responded quickly and patches have already been provided to partners that can be applied to any device.

"Most Android devices, including all newer devices, have multiple technologies that are designed to make exploitation more difficult. Android devices also include an application sandbox designed to protect user data and other applications on the device."

Updated 2:47 p.m. ET July 27: Companies Respond

Here are the responses we've received so far from smartphone manufacturers and wireless carriers:

Smartphone Manufacturers

HTC: "Google informed HTC of the issue and provided the necessary patches, which HTC began rolling into projects in early July. All projects going forward contain the required fix."

Silent Circle (on Twitter): "We patched Blackphone weeks ago!"

Wireless Carriers

T-Mobile: "These kinds of security fixes are usually released by our third-party device partners, so we're working with them to ensure those security updates have been deployed." Also, the company says, "You may wish to contact the device manufacturers directly, as they can tell you more about their specific plans for these security update releases."
