Not the fear of an audience, but an Android vulnerability that could hijack your smartphone via a garden-variety MMS. The company that discovered the flaw, Zimperium, has now released a tool, the Stagefright Detector App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector), to at least let you know if you're patched against it. Googleissued a fix (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/05/google-nexus-monthly-security-updates/) a while ago, and you're protected if you have a Nexus device. But if you own nearly any other smartphone -- even a brand new one like Samsung's Galaxy S6 -- you're probably still at risk.
