Once again androids have the potential to be hacked. This will be my last android. Not just this issue but all the other ones I have had. Iphone is coming back to me as soon as the new one is released soon. It will be shown for the first time next month. LINK

Did you read the article?

Tech board?
Also, you should probably bump this in a few hours when the rest of the world is awake.

Yes I read the article. It's still possible.

I'm not all that tech savvy but it says in the article
And before that it says
quote:
the two most common Android Operating Systems, Marshmallow and Lollipop, already contain patches designed to defeat Stagefright.

But don’t jump on the Apple bandwagon just yet. In fact, never do that for any reason.

What device doesn't have the potential to be hacked?
Stagefright was never a big risk for users to begin with, and Google has already closed the exploit for up to date users.
This thread is silly.

That isn't what your post was for. You're delusional if you think any Internet connected device will ever be risk free from attacks.

Your silly, but I still love you.

Some say I'm delusional some say a dreamer.

Nice apple propaganda spewing. Iphones and macbooks are insecure as frick despite what their bullshite advertising says

I didn't read the article because it wanted me to turn off my ad blocker, screw that.

Judging by this thread, you're more mentally equipped for the ipone anyway. It's a nice fit for children and simple minded folk. 
I agree. That would be one less pos thread.

Who the frick doesn't have Marshmallow or lollipop? They deserve to get a virus.
Posted on 3/21/16 at 7:23 am to iamAG
So did you read the articles last week explaining all iPhones are vulnerable to a hacker thru the FACTORY sync?
On this earth, if there are electronic devices connected to the internet, they will have vulnerabilities, period.

Make sure Windows is up to date too, there is a potential hack if you stick have windows 95! I swear, this is why everyone needs a mac...

If you're smart enough to work an android, you'd never consider going back to Apple.
