This App Tells Android Users If They’re Vulnerable to Stagefright

Good to know.

Dear Motherboard readers,

Stagefright, the bug that could let hackers remotely take over your Android device by merely sending you an MMS, is a kind of a big deal! You should download this app right now (developed by the same folks who first discovered the bug) to see if you're at risk.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do if you are at risk other than wait until your wireless carrier rolls out the patch that's already been developed by Google. Welcome to the future!

Signed,

Motherboard

P.S. You look nice today!
