(I love the drama of a CNN Money article title!) For all my Samsung phone-using friends out there, please take heed. I would assume a patch is forthcoming, but due to the nature of most Android devices, the application of the patch may not be as easy as it is on other manufacturers’ devices. This is a large footprint of devices, so criminals will be motivated to leverage this vulnerability. Be alert!
