Android devices can be fatally hacked by malicious Wi-Fi networks
Remember Stagefright? What ever happened to that? The bloggers promised us all an impending Android security armageddon (and you didn't even have to be on the same WiFi network as this one requires). According to Google's SafetyNet, that gathers telemetry from over 1.5 billion devices, not 1 occurrence of Stagefright has ever been seen in the wild. Think about that for a second.<p>It turns out developing an exploit, chaining it with other exploits to get around the Android security mitigations and then trying to make it work on devices running different OEM builds of Android was more difficult then people originally thought.<p>Moral of the story? Next time you hear horror stories about how susceptible your device is to an exploit just remember Stagefright and what a dud that turned out to be.
