Der Sicherheitsexperte Ravi Borgaonkar hat auf der Hackerkonferenz Ekoparty demonstriert, dass man Android-Smartphones von Samsung, bei denen der Hersteller die Android-Version mit eigener Software angepasst hat, aus der Ferne auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen kann. Kern des Angriffs ist eine Schwachstelle im Samsung-eigenen Wählprogramm, durch die einzelne Smartphone-Varianten ohne Rückfrage sogenannte USSD-Codes (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) ausführen, die über speziell präparierte Links übergeben werden. Der Code *2767*3855# sorgt dafür, dass das Handy sofort mit dem Zurücksetzen beginnt.
