Yeah. I heard about this on the radio this morning on my drive to work. They said as soon as you open the message though, without even playing the video, the exploit can go off. What a security hole. It's a scary thing to think about.There's speculation that disabling auto-retrieval of MMS from your various applications (Messaging, Viber, etc.) could prevent this exploit from occurring, but again, nothing solid has surfaced.
