A few weeks ago a security flaw in the HTC devices was discovered. This flaw insecurely stores personal data within HTC’s Sense user interface. It could potentially put your personal data, including phone number, GPS, SMS, e-mail accounts and more, at risk. It is rumored that HTC is pushing OTA update for various devices on Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile to fix this issue.

The devices that have been confirmed to be getting the fix are: the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon; the EVO 4G, EVO 3D, EVO View 4G, and EVO Design 4G on Sprint; and the HTC G2 and T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide on T-Mobile.

To check if the update is available for your device, just go to the Settings menu –> About Phone –> System Update –> HTC software update.
