When will Samsung Cloud stop working?
For customers in the U.S. and U.K., Samsung Cloud will stop working on April 1. If you live anywhere else, you may fall into Group 2, which means the service won’t stop working for you until June 1. You can check which group your country falls into here.

If you want to take advantage of migration to OneDrive, you have until March 31 to do so. If you’re planning on downloading your data — either to store on an external hard drive or to move to another cloud storage provider — you have a bit more time, as your files won’t be deleted from Samsung Cloud until June 30. It’s important to know that whether you choose to download your data or move to OneDrive or not, your data will automatically be deleted from Samsung Cloud on June 30. If you have a premium subscription, your plan will end automatically, and you should receive a refund for your final payment.

StageFright – How to Protect Yourself from it

July 28, 2015

Experts Found a Unicorn in the Heart of Android

Attackers only need your mobile number, using which they can remotely execute code via a specially crafted media file delivered via MMS. A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it. You will only see the notification. These vulnerabilities are extremely dangerous because they do not require that the victim take any action to be exploited. Unlike spear-phishing, where the victim needs to open a PDF file or a link sent by the attacker, this vulnerability can be triggered while you sleep. Before you wake up, the attacker will remove any signs of the device being compromised and you will continue your day as usual – with a trojaned phone.

These issues in Stagefright code critically expose 95% of Android devices, an estimated 950 million devices.
Android and derivative devices after and including version 2.2 are vulnerable.

Disable MMS Auto-Retrieve to Prevent Attacks

Since the exploit works by sending an MMS that is automatically downloaded by your phone, the only way to prevent this attack is to set your phone to not automatically download MMS messages. The drawback here is that you’ll have to tap future MMS messages to download them manually, but it’s a small price to pay for security.
