The Web has largely fixed itself from the major Heartbleed OpenSSL bug discovered on April 7, 2014. From the reports we’ve seen, few major websites are still vulnerable to the bug, and many of the apps and services we use have been patched as well. Unfortunately, there’s one festering Heartbleed wound that isn’t fixed, and won’t get patched anytime soon. As Google admitted on its own blog, phones and tablets running Android 4.1.1 are vulnerable to Heartbleed bug hack attacks.

We’ve tried but can’t find a good listing of what phones and tablets might be vulnerable, so we decided to make one ourselves. Below you’ll find a near-complete list of devices we think could potentially have the Heartbleed bug. This is based on information from Wikipedia, wireless carrier websites, and all over. We’ll continue to update and fix this list as readers, manufacturers, and carriers respond to our requests for info. We’ve included any devices we believe could possibly have Android 4.1.1 on them. Recent estimates pin the number of vulnerable devices at about 50 million.

IF YOUR DEVICE IS LISTED AS VULNERABLE:

  • Go to Settings > About phone to see if you’re running version 4.1.1.
  • Run the Lookout Mobile Security app
  • If you’re vulnerable, check for updates
  • If there are no updates, take the phone offline and remove all sensitive information from it
  • Avoid browsing the Web, using email, or doing anything serious on the device until a fix is issued. “If you have a vulnerable device and there’s no fix available for you, I would be very cautious about using that device for sensitive data,” Lookout’s Marc Rogers told Ars Technica. “So I would be cautious about using it for banking or sending personal messages.”

Most likely, an attacker might try to lure you into an infected website via email or some other method, trying to use the Hearbleed vulnerability to extract information from Web browser tabs. We recommend you use the Google Chrome browser, if it’s available on your device, and update it. Be sure to download the Lookout Mobile Security app to see if your device is vulnerable.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone
AT&T Storefront with logo.

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024
A person holding the Nokia 3210, showing the screen.

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
