    you are correct. I was meaning to imply harshly that people should not have auto download MMS on, though. Too many remain blissfully ignorant and uncaring about their own security to even go through options and change the defaults.

      lol, even if people went through to change their defaults, why would they expect an image to be able to hijack their device?

      There’s so many automated things on smart phones nowadays, should we disable everything to ensure avoiding future exploits?

        They would expect an image to hijack their device because they’ve been warned about downloading attachments in basically every Internet safety anything. We should disable things like nfc and other security vulnerabilities when not in use, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which can be dangerous.
