DESCRIPTION:
Raul Siles has reported a security issue in multiple HTC products,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially
sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the default Twitter application
(Peep) transmitting credentials Base64-encoded or in plaintext. This
can be exploited to disclose the authentication credentials by e.g
sniffing network traffic or via a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.

The security issue is reported in Peep version 2_5_19212224_0 running
on the following devices:
* HTC HD2
* HTC HD mini
* HTC Touch Diamond2
* HTC Touch Pro2

SOLUTION:
Do not use the default Twitter application (Peep).
