Proving that the more complex the OS, the easier it is to hack, and how root really isn't required to attack a device a malicious app bypassed Ubuntu Phone security checks to give the attacker full control over the phone.
Luckily only 15 people are known to have downloaded the app but one has to wonder if Ubuntu Phone is already being targeted so successfully in its infancy what does that bode when its a more juicy target?
An educated guess for the unreleased sales statistics can be found on Riccardo Padovani's blog.
