     BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Google on Wednesday began fixing a security hole in some 97 percent of Android phones that could let hackers1 snatch important credentials2 at public WiFi hotspots.

    The fix, which addresses a hole allowing hackers to access the contacts, calendars and photos on an Android phone connected to an open WiFi network, will take a few days to cover every phone, a Google spokesman said.
    Unlike a traditional software update, the problem exists on Google's servers, so Android users won't need to manually take action.
    The newest versions of Android, including the new wave of tablets running its Honeycomb software, are not affected3 by the bug4, according to the researchers at Germany's University of Ulm who initially5 reported the issue.
    The vulnerability could also cause devices synchronizing6 with Google Picasa web albums to transmit sensitive data through unencrypted channels, the researchers added.
    The Google spokesman said the company's security team is still investigating those claims.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
