The nasty little vulnerability labeled Stagefright took center stage not that long ago. It left approximately 95% of all Android device owners susceptible to attack on their devices from would be hackers via a MMS message, or picture message. Needless to say, a lot of people were worried about it as it would give the attacker full control over their devices. Since its discovery manufacturers and carriers alike have been working to plug the hole as quickly as possible. Just the other week AT&T pushed a patch out for the HTC One M9 and today they have begun rolling the patch out to their LG G4 devices.
The OTA that is rolling out doesn’t offer up anything else beyond being labeled as including “Device security improvements.” Although, in this case, that is a welcomed thing. The file is labeled as software version H81010I and weighs in at just 46.7MB’s. You will still want to make sure you have well over 50% battery life, a solid Wi-Fi connection and some time to let it install. Being so small, it shouldn’t take but a few minutes. If you don’t see the update pending in the notifications, you can navigate to Settings > General > About Phone > Update Center > Software Update. It still might not be presented to you, but it is coming.
