could all Xperia owners please do the following. *URGENT*

[viridis]

Hi, can you please go to android play store and disable auto updates.
Also can you go into Xperia update centre and turn OFF automatic updates.
And do not update the system app "backup and restore"
Will post back soon, still finding out details but it is very urgent that
ALL XPERIA OWNERS DO THE ABOVE ASAP.!!!

Sony Mobile takes the security and privacy of customer data very seriously. We are currently investigating these reports. More information will follow as soon as we have fully assessed the situation.

I don't have automatic updates for either Google play store or update centre, haven't received the update for backup and restore tho I think :S

[Anonymous]

And only update i've received on update centre is "what's new"

App has been removed from the play store.

Good job...and as nandroid said... it took long enough

It makes me wonder why more rigorous testing isn't done before these apps are released on an unsuspecting public?

Removed or not, for some people it was too late
