Oh, great. My BLU R1 HD from Amazon is sitting next to me as I type this. Anyone know if this is patched in the latest software update, or how I can tell if I'm affected? I don't see anything "AdUps" in the applications or services list.
edit: Per an email from Amazon, http://www.bluproducts.com/security/ http://www.bluproducts.com/security/ has instructions.
- pawadu 10y agoThe lack of corporate BS on that page really surprised me: BLU Products has identified and has quickly removed a recent security issue caused by a 3rd party application which had been collecting unauthorized personal data in the form of text messages, call logs, and contacts from customers using a limited number of BLU mobile devices. ... The affected application has since been self-updated and the functionality verified to be no longer collecting or sending this information.
