M8 Heartbleed situation

[ekyle]

Anyone have any clue as to a timeline for getting the Heartbleed vulnerability patched on the M8. The Lookout app suggests the phone's OS is vulnerable. I'm not too concerned about. Just curious if there'd be a fix users wild ever see.

Unfortunately there is no timeline. The threat is still being assessed. I imagine within the next 30 days the issue will be patched. This is just speculation though.


With things like square register, NFC, and other payment portals it will be a priority to get this patched across all platforms.

I figured. Wasn't sure if this was something that would get stuck in carrier limbo or not.
