Prototype Clickjacking Rootkit Developed For Android

ShipLives writes "Mobile security researchers have identified an aspect of Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and earlier models that clickjacking rootkits could exploit. As part of an effort to identify potential weaknesses in smartphone platforms, the team was able to develop a proof-of-concept prototype rootkit that attacks the Android framework, rather than the underlying operating system kernel."

You seem to be suggesting that it's impossible for it to be simultaneously true that users are lax about security AND the OS is insecure. But why would there be any conflict between those two claims? It's perfectly possible that many Windows users have poor security practices and Windows itself is less secure than other OSes.
