[QUOTE="tim one, post: 703237, member: 25920"] The vulnerability lies more in general Android (fortunately, not all phones) and has been definitively fixed by Google with Jelly Bean: [URL="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Contacts/+log/android-4.1.1_r1/src/com/android/contacts/dialpad/DialpadFragment.java"]Log - android-4.1.1_r1 - platform/packages/apps/Contacts - Git at Google[/URL] Theoretically you could be at risk using an old Android version, but I think criminals have lost interest in taking advantage of USSD and looking for something more interesting and rewarding but yes [USER=65228]@Opcode[/USER] said good tips about that.
