# Android Messaging: A Few Bugs Short of a Chain

## Summary

About a year and a half ago, I did some research into Android messaging and mail clients. At the time, I didn’t blog about it, because though I found bugs, I wasn’t able to assemble them into a credible attack. However, in the spirit of writing about research that didn’t go as expected, I have decided to share it now. I think there is something interesting to learn about the impact of design choices on security from this research.
