San Francisco, CA, October 5, 2012 – Maxthon, a global software company that develops state-of-the-art web browsers, announces the release of its latest version of Maxthon for Android, 2.7.3.1000. This new edition of Maxthon Mobile continues its emphasis on security and privacy, in the wake of research from the Technical University of Berlin and the Ekoparty Security Conference in Argentina, which revealed that a security flaw in some Android smartphones makes it possible for hackers to access data stored in the phone by simply sending an SMS or by prodding the user to visit a suspicious URL. Users can download Maxthon Mobile directly from Google’s Play Store.

“Security and privacy have always been top priorities for Maxthon,” says Jeff Chen CEO of Maxthon. “This version of Maxthon Mobile gives users the peace of mind they deserve when surfing the web and uploading personal content.”

Additional privacy and security features of this version of Maxthon Mobile include:

–> Private browsing
–> One-tap to clear all browser cache, history, cookies, etc.

“We believe users of Android handsets should have every bit of security when browsing the web,” said Karl Mattson, GM of Maxthon International/Chief of Product Development. “This new version of Maxthon Mobile delivers on that promise.”
