I was wondering about this too, but I think rainisto said so in one of the beforementioned threads. Sure you could simulate touch-screen interaction software wise, but really doubt any such thing can come through from AlienDalvik, so at least Android malware is out of the question. Now if you install all apps from extras-devel that have no source available, you might have a problem. EDIT: just got to rainisto's comment, so it looks like readonly access, and not exactly out of the question. Don't like the comment about 7 figure amounts, maybe I read it wrong, but device rarity is not an argument, obscurity-security... yeah and especially since Jolla could make this a very strong selling point PR wise with all the NSA stuff being frontpaged daily now

To a hacker, yeah, to an organization that makes its living by spying, early access or early backdoor implementation could be considered a key asset. Think about it, new device, all Snowdens of the world are gonna use it because it is new and from outside of US. Very hot cake
