I don't know about droidjack specifically, but your phone is not at all secure, particularly for android. All it takes is a little bit of bad C code to cause an overflow of some sort. Combine that with widely available unencrypted firmware and you have a real vulnerability.


Are you implying that you could create an Android exploit with "little bit of bad C code"? If so, I'm not sure you understand how exploits work and the work required to get around all of the mitigations in place.


Depends. Once you get root--and as others have noted above, that's far easier than it should be on most handsets--all bets are off really.
