Drdaeman, it opens up the possibility of such "hostile" data access. For an application to simply start accessing random data in such a way that it could "access" financial details or actually interact with a payment provider... it would have to explicitly be given root permission. I give very few applications root. Terminal gets it, Rom Manager gets it. That's it. A random app from the Market? Hell no, it's not getting root and it's not getting access to my data. The thing is, this vector already exists. Download the Paypal app. Login. Now download drivebyacct2's malicious app on the Market. If you grant it root access through SuperUser, it could theoretically read out your Paypal credentials and do all kinds of stuff. Personally, I consider it to be very low risk.
