Nokia is hijacking Internet browsing traffic on some of its phones.

As a result, the company has access to all your Internet content, including sensitive data that is sent over secure connections (HTTPS). This means banking and pretty much any other credentials you use to log in to services on the Internet.

Hahaha! I haven't trusted Nokia for years. Their phones are crap nowadays and they're grossly overpriced. Now this too.

And I live in Finland.

Don't buy Nokia. Thank you.

Just another corporation thinking they can do with us as they please.

Nice catch!

One other thing about Mobile Phones which some of you will definately not know is that when you open your internet on your phone and sign into sites.... if you dont sign out of those sites properly and/or reset your phone, you still get charged even when you aren't browsing the internet! I mean once you have logged out of the net services and just gone back to using your phone normally.

Do you know how much these phone companies are making from that???

You figure it out.... a couple billion people using mobiles worldwide.... thats like 50p a day these Companies make from 2billion people who aren't even using their internet.... thats about £1 billion pounds profit!!

Biggest ripoff yet....

If true, there is no "thinking" involved. Just another corporation doing with us what they please. BTW, anybody want to trade some derivatives for some trillion dollar coins?
