    I chuckled over this one. I am surprised nobody did it sooner, and I doubt Samsung phones are the only ones who are vulnerable.

    Any Android phone that dials directly from a URL link and has the dial code to reset the device is vulnerable. Pretty funny. Just simple HTML code.

    I think I saw a post from Cali Lewis on G+ about this.
