| 1303492 | 2012-09-26 09:27:00 | Seems having the latest (or close to it) version of Android on your devices could be putting you at risk of a new Hack. Article on Stuff Today: Security-risk-for-millions-of-Android-users (www.stuff.co.nz) We all backup your Android Device s don't you ?? ;) Edited: just tried it on my Samsung, its got Version 2.3.5 and the test site listed in the article tripped it as it described. OOPS |

| 1303495 | 2012-09-26 09:58:00 | Windows Phone pops up with a confirmation before actually calling the number, and then tells me I have to enter service codes directly from the keypad. Microsoft obviously thought about this. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1303496 | 2012-09-26 10:10:00 | It will probably be all piss and wind at the end of the day. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

| 1303498 | 2012-09-26 10:50:00 | Not applicable on my S2 (AOKP Preview 5) as well as some other ROMs. Very unlikely to occur in the wild as far as I know, I had thought there was a patch released ages ago for this (perhaps I'm wrong) there was mention on XDA in April about unauthorised USSD codes and running exploits via them. Apparently a patch was created by a dev for users and an official patch from Samsung and HTC was released in their next FW update. |

| 1303499 | 2012-09-26 10:51:00 | Mine's thankfully immune to that trick :D. Yay for CyanogenMod 10! | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1303500 | 2012-09-26 10:55:00 | I've rooted this phone. So, if it stuffs up I'll just reinstall something else :p The original ROM is no longer on it. Looks like this phone is affected tho. The rom maybe not the phone itself | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1303501 | 2012-09-26 11:07:00 | did you read the article? Yes I did and it came across as the usual dooms day caper. For one I couldn't really care what Sophos says and I also started to research the other guys mentioned but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I always think who has an axe to grind when something like this pops up. |
