Serious Samsung phones vulnerability!
Had my new Samsung for nearly a week, and now I find that it can be remotely wiped (including disabling the SIM card), by SMS, viewing a QR code, visiting a website, or reading a NFC tag! Yikes!
SMH story:
Security risk for millions of Android phone users
There are quick and simple fixes, so if you know anyone with a Samsung Galaxy phone (most models), give them a heads-up.
Here's a test page to check if your phone is vulnerable:
USSD Exploit Test
Cheers,
