Samsung Fixes Cellphone Keyboard Vulnerability

Posted by Soulskill on from the squeaky-keys-get-the-grease dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Several days ago, news broke that Samsung's keyboard software on their Galaxy series of cell phones had a glaring security issue that left 600 million devices vulnerable to attackers. The company has now fixed the flaw internally, and is making plans to roll out security updates to affected devices. They say the likelihood of an actual attack is low, because a particular set of conditions need to be met before any damage could be done.

    I notice all the whiners and trolls bitching about the layout changes are Anonymous Cowards.

    Somehow it figures that people so lazy that they can't be bothered registering an account would also be the first to complain.

    You're always welcome to just fuck off and go elsewhere to whimper on the internet, you know? Try Facebook -- they seem to love pathetic whiners and drama queens like you.
