Jorge Grueul has a great article To protect consumers, Congress should secure the app store supply chain.
I so agree. The bills currently proposed do nothing to protect consumers from malware, congress people have so little tech knowledge. If we have unfettered access to an iphone with apps installing off a link, all cell phones will be compromised in a single day. If they just get rid of the walled garden and allow easy unfettered install, every iPhone will be compromised so quickly it is a joke.
And of course the App stores need more regulation, as how could Apple let through so many bogus apps?
We need security standards on new app stores that apply to all app stores.
