The mobile OS strategy failed everywhere. Now we have bad security (seriously, this is as an OS and browser error) and bad lock-in. I doubt it would have been easy to do with a decently updated, conventional desktop PC, even if you could redirect its network access like it was done here with his phone.

Even with a mitm attack on your browser, this shouldn't have happened.

“Failed”? Mobile phones are much more secure and safe platforms compared to anything which came before.
