2011년 5월 5일 - Microsoft issues its first Windows Phone 7 security update

Windows Phone 7 logo Microsoft has issued the first security update for its latest mobile Operating System (OS), Windows Phone 7.

Update 7.0.7392.0 fixes a flaw which, in the wrong hands, could allow nine known fraudulent security certificates, issued by a single untrusted root certificate authority, to spoof content, mount phishing or man-in-the-middle attacks against Web browser users.

The update moves the dodgy certificates into the 'untrusted publishers' store on mobile devices preventing them from being accidentally used.

The certificates, which were issued by Comodo and were first reported on 23rd March, also affect all Windows, Windows Mobile 6.x, Zune and, erm, Kin devices.

The following well-known and often-used Web properties are affected:

- login.live.com
- mail.google.com
- www.google.com
- login.yahoo.com (3 certificates)
- login.skype.com
- addons.mozilla.org
- "Global Trustee"

Staggered updates will be pushed Over-The-Air (OTA) to Windows Phone 7 users.
You can find out when your particular territory or handset is ready to rock here.
