Hello Moto (Google Owned Motorola) is using poor Security Practices

It has come to my attention that Motorola (Google Owned Company) is using poor security practices.

Located at this link Motorola Caught Slipping a user has found out that his Motorola Droid X2 is transmitting info to Motorola’s Blur Servers.

Now if that is not alarming that Motorola is collecting your info when you login to sites then the next part will.  In a lot of cases the info is transmitted in clear text or not encrypted.  What does this mean to the user?  Simple, an attacker with that knowledge can take over any of your accounts, or if the attacker is good can gain access to Motorola’s Servers to collect any data on millions of users.  Another examples is a angry Motorola Employee can abuse their privileges for their own gain.

I will admit I am a Windows Phone Fan but this leaves me with a burning question……

If Motorola is doing this, what about other manufacturers?  Are the other Manufacturers do this as well?

If they are then this is a wake up call cause if the users of these devices find out then that Manufacturer can not be trusted any more. Meaning their sales will vanish fast.
