Is the Heartbleed bug in your Android? 80 phones/tablets that could be vulnerable

list of android phones vulnerable to heartbleed bug galaxy s3 and lg intuition

The Web has largely fixed itself from the major Heartbleed OpenSSL bug discovered on April 7, 2014. From the reports we’ve seen, few major websites are still vulnerable to the bug, and many of the apps and services we use have been patched as well. Unfortunately, there’s one festering Heartbleed wound that isn’t fixed, and won’t get patched anytime soon. As Google admitted on its own blog, phones and tablets running Android 4.1.1 are vulnerable to Heartbleed bug hack attacks.

We’ve tried but can’t find a good listing of what phones and tablets might be vulnerable, so we decided to make one ourselves. Below you’ll find a near-complete list of devices we think could potentially have the Heartbleed bug. This is based on information from Wikipedia, wireless carrier websites, and all over. We’ll continue to update and fix this list as readers, manufacturers, and carriers respond to our requests for info. We’ve included any devices we believe could possibly have Android 4.1.1 on them. Recent estimates pin the number of vulnerable devices at about 50 million.

IF YOUR DEVICE IS LISTED AS VULNERABLE:

  • Go to Settings > About phone to see if you’re running version 4.1.1.
  • Run the Lookout Mobile Security app
  • If you’re vulnerable, check for updates
  • If there are no updates, take the phone offline and remove all sensitive information from it
  • Avoid browsing the Web, using email, or doing anything serious on the device until a fix is issued. “If you have a vulnerable device and there’s no fix available for you, I would be very cautious about using that device for sensitive data,” Lookout’s Marc Rogers told Ars Technica. “So I would be cautious about using it for banking or sending personal messages.”

Most likely, an attacker might try to lure you into an infected website via email or some other method, trying to use the Hearbleed vulnerability to extract information from Web browser tabs. We recommend you use the Google Chrome browser, if it’s available on your device, and update it. Be sure to download the Lookout Mobile Security app to see if your device is vulnerable.

Disney+ app on the iPad Air 5.

As much as we love having the best smartphones in our pockets, there are times when those small screens don't cut it, and we just need a larger display. That's when you turn to a tablet, which is great for being productive on the go and can be a great way to unwind and relax too. While the tablet market really took off after the iPad, it has grown to be quite diverse with a huge variety of products — from great budget options to powerhouses for professionals.

We've tried out a lot of tablets here at Digital Trends, from the workhorses for pros to tablets that are made for kids and even seniors, there's a tablet for every person and every budget. For most people, though, we think Apple's iPad Air is the best overall tablet — especially if you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem. But if you're not an Apple user, that's fine too; there are plenty of other great options that you'll find in this roundup.

How to find your phone number on iPhone or Android
Rebtel Calling

Gone are the days when phone numbers were as commonly memorized as street addresses. While you once had your own phone number, your best friend's, your crush's, and the one for the local pizza shop all at the top of mind, the advent of smartphones has rendered this memory exercise moot. Like most people, you probably don’t call your own phone number very often -- and if you do, it's likely listed in your Favorites -- so you may not know it off the top of your head.

With that reality comes the familiar grip of panic when a new acquaintance asks for your mobile phone number and you have no clue. Or maybe you're so used to sharing your second phone number that you forgot the first!
