It's tough to talk about Android security without venturing into sensational terrain.
A large part of that is due to the simple fact that the forces driving most Android security coverage are companies that make their money by selling Android security software — and thus companies with strong interests in pushing the narrative that every Android phone is on the perpetual brink of grave, unfathomable danger. Plus, let's face it: A headline about 70 gazillion Android phones being vulnerable to the MegaMonsterSkullCrusher Virus is far more enticing than one explaining the nuanced realities of Android security.
In actuality, though, Android security is a complex beast — one with multiple layers in place to protect you and one that almost never warrants an alarmist attitude. I've been covering Android security closely since the platform's earliest days, and I've busted more myths and called out more shameless publicity stunts than I can even count at this point.

"To prepare for Y2K, our company bought this commercial product to do all Y2K century-digits correction and set up all applications to use that software," says fish.
"It stopped working correctly all of a sudden, early in 2008. I was told to find a fix for it immediately."
Fish examines the original installation of the date-fixing software, circa 1997, and quickly finds the problem. The software uses a "century window" approach, so that every date after a specific two-digit year is assumed to be in the 1900s, while every date earlier is in the 2000s.
