Security Bug Will Wipe Out your Samsung Phone

Clik here to view.Beware, Samsung customers! If you have a Samsung Android-based phone running their TouchWiz user interface, your telephone can be wiped out by going to any web page that contains the code "tel:*2767*3855%23" in an HTML frame. Important update: It's not only Samsung with TouchWiz. Apparently it's happening with other Android phones too. The vulnerability has been confirmed on the Samsung Galaxy II and AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S III, but it's probably common to any Samsung Android phone running the TouchWiz UI. Here's how it works: the HTML frame loads a tel: URL. This url tells the telephone that its content is a clickable telephone number. However, instead of a phone number, the URL contains a special USSD code that tells the phone to wipe out itself. USSD means Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, special number sequences used by phone carriers to execute instructions in your phone. Here's a list of the potentially compromised phones: • Samsung Illusion SCH-I110 (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Infuse 4G (TouchWiz 3.0)[4] • Samsung Rugby Smart (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Droid Charge • Samsung Galaxy Gio (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy Fit (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy Mini (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy 3 (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy 5 (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Captivate Glide (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Gravity Smart • Samsung Exhibit II 4G (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy Y (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy W (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy R (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy Ace (TouchWiz 3.0) • Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy Pro (TouchWiz UI v3.0) • Samsung Galaxy Pocket • Samsung Galaxy S (TouchWiz 3.0 / TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S Duos (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 (TouchWiz 3.0 / TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S Plus (TouchWiz 3.0 / TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S Advance (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S II (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (TouchWiz 4.0) • Samsung Galaxy S III (TouchWiz Nature UX) It's still not clear yet if the bug affects certain versions of TouchWiz or all of them.
