If you use a Motorola Razr cell phone, don't accept JPEGs from strangers.

A vulnerability has been discovered in the phones that could allow a hacker to send a corrupt JPEG image via Multimedia Messaging Service that could be leveraged to run malicious code on the phone. However, you would have to accept the image for download before that could happen.

Thanks tranced!

What sticks out to me is the "Razr" mention. Does it mean the Razr2 is included as I'm using it myself?
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

i dont think so.

"Although the possibility of this vulnerability occurring is very remote," Motorola has fixed the vulnerability in all new releases of the Razr and urges people with older devices to download the latest software from its Web site, the advisory said.


the just mention RAZR's n not RAZR2.
