New Nokia Smartphones Leak E-mail Passwords

Noksu writes "Despite of the recent plunge in Nokia's profits, the company is doing well in the surveillance business. The infamous 'Lex Nokia' got ratified in Finland and the company has launched a massive Nokoscope research project for data gathering. In the meantime Nokia's new smartphones forward e-mail account credentials to a remote server. Surprisingly enough, this is done in HTTP request headers. The company has been informed, but there has not been an official statement yet. Time for class action suit in the US?"

Don't use 'GET /', 'HTTP/1.0', or 'user-agent' as your password, and you will be much less likely to have your password submitted automatically by an HTTP client program.
