" An android bug that has been dubbed the &amp;quot;worst Android vulnerability in the mobile OS history&amp;quot; is back for a third time, and it will allow cyber-criminals to hack into your mobile device in less than 10 seconds.  This new version of what&amp;#039;s ominously called Stagefright tricks users into visiting a web page, via an innocent-seeming email,\u00A0that infects the phone with a malicious multimedia file. Once the file is downloaded, it resets the phone and sends information about the device to the hacker. This data allows the hacker to gain sensitive information, as well as gain control of the microphone and camera to actually spy on the user.  Northbit, a research firm based in Israel, said that they exploited this bug earlier this year and called it the &amp;quot;worst ever discovered.&amp;quot;  Confused about the way it works? Take a look at the video below for a more detailed guide. But ultimately, the same-old advice still rings true \u2014 don&amp;#039;t click unfamiliar links.\u00A0         "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
