Farkas Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 One less thing for me to worry about. Smartphone hacking comes of age, hitting US victims Devastating cellphone hacks that hijack your most personal gadget and rob you of privacy and money have long been forecast. But even as smartphone users in Asia are beginning to suffer exploding bills and emptied bank accounts at the hands of hackers, U.S. users largely remain safe and blissfully unaware of the gathering threat. http://redtape.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/21/17390282-smartphone-hacking-comes-of-age-hitting-us-victims?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I don't click on random links with my phone, but for the last several months when I'm on the internet (typically on CR) I'll get a pop up that says "Billing not supported in this version of Android" or something like that. Been wondering if I picked up a virus, but I don't keep bank account info in my phone. Anyone else get this message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, download Lookout from the market, its an anti-virus for Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 +1 to Lookout Mobile Security. Totally awesome software. Mine sends a picture of the person using the phone if you can't unlock it in 3 tries with the GPS location of the phone in an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, always wondered what it was Looks like it's been a common issue with the stock browser after September last year. Not sure if it's a browser bug or Market. Lots of sites have people reporting the issue, but I haven't found anyone stating a cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of sites have people reporting the issue, but I haven't found anyone stating a cause. It is an issue with google play but I can't find a fix. Try deleting play's temp files or whatever it is called in the settings and reboot phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
