[HLUG] Massive Drupal hack

[Dave Winterton]

Just as a warning over auto update, my phone lot (O2) auto updated my
phone by installing 
their 'network manager' app, listing it as one of my favourites (ha ha)
and as they had possibly 
only tested it on their trendy iphones were surprised to find this
'customer' compaining that it 
had knocked my phone out of action .
Deleting it and restarting the phone worked
I was of course the only customer to have this problem

yours David
