If you are shaking in your boots over stagefright you probably shouldn't be. Google has said that the exploit has not been used much, and most modern phones have a protocol which would make it incredibly difficult to hack a phone in this way. If you are worried that your phone might be vulnerable you can know for sure thanks to a new app on the Google Play Store called the "StageFright Detector App". I know very original name. To use the app just click the "Begin Analysis" button. Once analysis has finished you will know whether or not your phone is vulnerable. If it is you can protect yourself by disabling your stock messaging app and using an app like Textra which has the stagefright patch built in. Head to the link below to grab the detector app.

Even though I have been patched by Google (via Tmobile) this app still shows me as being vulnerable. That leads to the inevitable question of whom I should believe...Google or Zimperium.

Neither. Google doesn't want you to know if there software is vulnerable and Zimperium want to sell you some security software. :D
 
My Verizon S5, showing as up to date in my Verizon "update list", shows as Vulnerable as well, then wants me to send my info to their sales department... Sounds fishy to me.
