#2 is a link from September 2012. You mean this is still not fixed (as in >99% can update to a version that is fixed)?

Edit: "UPDATED 26 September: Samsung has told SlashGear that Galaxy S III users should ensure their phone is running the latest software as this resolves any issues:

'We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the GALAXY S III has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all GALAXY S III customers to download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service.'

Question: Is this OTA Update depending on whether providers let those updates through?

I don't know if it was pushed through on all providers but I know I got it on AT&T months ago.

The link has an update at the bottom stating that it has been fixed.
