What is SAMSUNG's and VZW's timeframe to address the recently announced (and widely publicized) Broadcom wifi vulnerability that affects flagship SAMSUNG devices in addition to recent iPhones? This one is serious!

TheS1R, thanks for reaching out to the community. We currently don't have any official information regarding your concerns as this is not something that has been directly discussed. We are service providers and your concerns are that of the manufacturers. If anything changes that may affect you and other customers from our end we surely will reach out to notify you.

Meanwhile, I suggest reaching out to Samsung and Apple directly.

Apple has already released iOS 10.3.1 to address the issue. SAMSUNG releases its updates via the carriers. It would be most appropriate for VZW to reach out to SAMSUNG on behalf of their customers.

The Pixel and Nexus devices are getting the April security updates now.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
