“SMS can completely destroy Android”, – said a few days ago, a British company engaged in security Context Information Security.
a Short text message, i.e. the so-called SMS, is known to all mobile phone users for about 20 years. A much longer study on this form of communication and it may seem that so far, all the errors were found and fixed. Nothing could be further from the truth. Still considered as the weakest link in the safety issue of mobile phones. Still not developed an effective firewall, which chroniłaby from hackers.
Recent research on Context IS the most popular[1] models: Samsung: Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5 and Note 4 running Android, have shown that these devices can easily be retrieved and restarted the attack. Phones can be done remotely using the SMS message so the wrong people can freely navigate through the entire system of the device. Vulnerabilities are exploited using the message configuration, WAP transmitted to the selected devices with minimal (or no) interaction between the owner of the phone. The vulnerability can be used not only for violations of the smartphone, but in order that hackers could earn money. This is a serious problem, if such malicious messages blindly accepted without proper knowledge and control of their origin and content.

the Good news is the fact that Samsung is constantly conducting a series of studies on improvement of system of protection. Improvement can be seen even by the example of more recent models such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7. They are also prone to errors, but, nevertheless, basically, when users install your app, your app. So there is a chance that other manufacturers will be inspired about their proposed solutions, and new models will be more secure.
