Are you still on Android 4.1.1 /4.2.2 - Don't get bitten by the (HeartBleed) Bug.



According to the article:-
Chief among vulnerable devices are those running Android. While exploiting vulnerable handsets often isn't as simple as attacking vulnerable servers, the risk is high enough that users should tightly curtail use of their Android devices until users are sure their handsets aren't susceptible


What's more, the threat of a vulnerable Android device being exploited by someone on the same Wi-Fi network as the targeted user, or by someone combining a Heartbleed attack with a separate exploit, should be enough to give people pause, even if they don't intend to visit banking sites or connect to Web-based e-mail or other sensitive services, Rogers counseled.
