They're calling it the biggest flaw ever in Android phones. If a hacker sends you a picture message and you open it, you could be in trouble. Simply by opening the text messages they can wipe all of your data.

Bottom line: If you see a picture message from someone you don't know, don't open it or respond.

According to our friends at WIVB:

It affects 95-percent of the Androids in use today and you don’t even have to open the message for the malware to download.

 

That’s because of the way Android phones analyze incoming text messages. Even before you open a text, the phone automatically processes incoming media files, including pictures, audio, and video. Once that happens, the bug allows hackers to take full control of all device functions, including access to apps, the camera, and even wiping the device clean.
