Although its a bit old and things may have changed since then, this article shows how basic the detection is (video within):

Keep in mind its sophos's own site/blog so there's a definite conflict of interest potential.

Here's the rest over at apples site:

Just search for defender

Why can't they just use something unique to mix it with an email address like, oh I don't know, The console ID directly pulled from the hardware.

One assumes an attacker can't steal those in bulk easily. (artificially created replay attack possibly?)

They seem to be pretty good at finding it to use against George Hotz (yes I know it turned out to be the previous owner but it shows they know the mappings).

I see Fox News did a fantastic job on spelling in their link.

almost 10 years and they didn't get it right.....sigh

There was a lot of similar contention about the commodore 64 app a while ago. They had to cut significant bits out, such as the commodore basic interface before they would approve it.

seems recently the the commodore basic interface has come back anyway, although I'm not sure if there are any restrictions.

Kinda sounds the same as people foolishly relying on switches (as opposed to hubs) for keeping malicious users from sniffing username/password combos going by. Just use ssl over the top and you're good to go still. Multiple layer is for a reason.

Once it's installed on the Android phone

One would assume that if you had physical access to most equipment, its usually game over anyway. No more vulnerable than a netbook really(both being more portable than desktops). Just more people have phones.

They probably just use google fight to determine the results

An even better reference would've been Russ Swift for his Austin Montego TV ad.

I think you'll find that a hero is someone who "Saves the Day". Risking ones life is just a measure of courage. Also, just because he's on Camera does not mean that he will get caught. London is full of security cameras but that does not correlate between increase in cameras installed over time vs increase in criminals caught.

I thought that was only in soviet russia

I think you'll find that username and password are still only single factor, as they're both something you know.
you'd still need a something you are or something you have to go along with that
