Wow, this is very serious - it pretty much turns every "left my phone on the bus" incident from "oh well" into "all your data was compromised". I don't know how Google couldn't take this seriously. Even after the poster physically demonstrated it they took months to fix it. For sensitive data with legal disclosure requirements this is a game changer.

Very disappointed with Google here - even though I lost a lot of trust in them in other areas, I still rated their security stance as excellent, especially on their own phones.
