Why do you say "Did you watch the videos from whatsapp? If not, your phone would be fine. Downloading wouldn´t trigger the exploit there." I had read the opposite thing -I don't remember where-

Me neither, that would be very surprising. But if the phone has been hacked -and it seems it has been- I guess there must be some corrupted files somewhere. Do you know any hackers forum where they can probably be more familiar with this? I am sure the guys doing it know how to detect it as well.

no media still saved in my phone. regarding the first link in your previos message, I think it is the same as zimperium one. and in that case it only checks if your phone is vulnerable or not. Not if the vulnerabilities have been used to hack your phone. I had already tried the second link in...

Do you think there is any difference between that trustlook stagefright scan and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector&hl=es ? Regarding how those attack work: the media file doesn't need to be played. As soon as it is downloaded into your smart phone...

Apparently antivirus are mostly useless to detect stagefright related hackings. You can find quite a few news about stagefright if you google it as it was obviously quite shocking to find out android mobiles being so weak against hacking. Anyway, I did install antivirus and it didn't find...

I am trying to discover if -as it seems to be the case- that guy had access to my phone for a long period of time. No need to return the phone to the pre-hacking state or anything like that. I am not planning to use it any more.

Hi guys, I know this is very specific. Do you know in which forum I could find help with this? It sounds like a hackers forum would be the right place, maybe?

Android version 4.1.2, sony xperia st26i

Thank you. It's an older version, and I had already used that app, indeed, which found quite a few vulnerabilities. I even texted zimperium about this, but they didn't reply. But the fact that the app finds vulnerabilities just means that you are vulnerable to those kind of attacks. I don't use...

Hello, A couple of years ago I had a mobile phone with an old android version. I knew nothing about stagefright vulnerabilities and every video I was receiving on my whatsap was automatically downloaded to my phone. I received several very strange video messages from the same person. It was...

I have been reading further about it, and it is actually pretty easy to get access to someone's mobile sending corrupted files over whatsap. Disgusting. However, it seems really difficult to detect if someone is getting access to your mobile, with some blogs recommending paying for a check of...

My suspects are not a virus getting spread or anything like that, but that guy getting access to data in my mobile, conversations, or whatever. Ok, I will look for antiviruses then, although the video doesn't appear in my pictures folder, so not sure if an antivirus could detect anything. It...

Thanks. A bit late, as I have already opened the video. It doesn't look good. Do you know if there is any way I could find out? Maybe installing an antivirus or something?

Hello, Just a question about files sent on whatsap. Can we get any virus or attack through a picture, voice message or video that someone is sending us? The point is, someone I know from business, who had never sent me any pics or video on whatsap, has sent me the very same video twice in the...
