It&#8217;s likely you already have firmware on your device which isn&#8217;t vulnerable to the so-called dirty USSD code, and if not, you can download it now, according to Samsung. The company issued the following statement on the matter: &#8220;We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the Galaxy S III has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all Galaxy S III customers download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service.&#8221; It turns out we couldn&#8217;t reproduce the bug earlier as we already had the latest update, and you should probably check to see that you do, as well. Meanwhile, we&#8217;re also checking to see if other Touchwiz devices have been patched, so don&#8217;t forget to watch what you click.<\/p>\n<p>Original article at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2012\/09\/26\/samsung-patched-dirty-USSD-vulnerability\/\">Engadget<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were worried about stumbling onto a malicious website and accidentally wiping your Samsung Galaxy S III or other TouchWiz smartphone or slate, you can probably breathe easy.
