I read that, it's included in Betanews, too, I think.

Why on earth can't they be more forthcoming about the vector? I thought I saw Javascript. Any Javascript, or from certain sites? Is it a drive by? No one says.

In the meantime, others with older android or non-Google android phones get the problems. Some carriers are notoriously slow about updates.

That was a good article.

No replies - no anything.

Does anyone really care?

Curious if anyone will make a rooting app out of it?
I've got a S5 Active that is currently rooted on 5.0 but root not possible on 5.1 and 6.0

I check it in the near future on my second phone and I'll write about the results
