USSD TEL attacks http://www.itworld.com/security/298784/ussd-attack-not-limited-samsung-android-devices-can-also-kill-sim-cards http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1738833 Apparently some Android phones seem to have a "Wipe all Data" USSD code which executes without a user confirmation. The severity of the problem seems to be dependent on what special codes the phone has. Apparently some Samsung and HTC phones have been confirmed as vulnerable. http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/none/303097-dirty-ussd-hack-wipes-samsung-phones-is-yours-vulnerable I get nothing of it way above my head but the bad thing is that if one use a smartphone with android or a Tablet or Pad with Android and visit a link to a html site with the bad code that someone put there for this purpose then it reset the whole phone and without a backup you lose all the info on how to reach people? Here is a temporal solution? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mulliner.telstop _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |
