So , in response to my previous post to which there were NO responses – does ANYONE know how secure my device is if I am running the WP App on it ??? Considering teh recent Hack of the Developers website – I am really concerned about it and have stopped using the Nokia WP App. Anyone?

I think it should be OK and am happy to continue using it. Of course, this no guarantee, but I believe the hack was more of user data grab to prove that Nokia had missed a hole in protection and was specifically malicious.

Thanks for the response. I know the Hack on Nokia Forum was a data snatch – my email was amongst the data taken.
What I was asking was this.
If the WordPress Nokia Blog app does not uses https:// when it connects via my Nokia to the web , it quite possibly allow malicious hackers to gain access INTO my nokia device?
Also, the ports its opens/uses to connect out are accessible via a MITM attack, and I have tested this myself using the USB Dongle and my laptop, which allowed my networked PC to collect all traffic being sent from the Nokia App to WordPress.com’s xml rpc ….
So – is this APP SECURE ?
If not, why is there no disclaimer informing users of this fact?

No, i am still using it. And i think, this is great for keep your site updated on the go.

You may still be using it Shazza – but my question stands – while you ARE using it – is someone else using the same connection to get INTO YOUR MOBILE ?

I think there is no reason to worry
