Google has released its April update for Nexus devices, which includes fixes for 40 bugs altogether, including 15 critical issues and a rooting flaw it addressed in March.
Google on Thursday pushed out an over the air update to its Nexus devices to fix the notorious Stagefright bug, but it's confirmed to CSO Australia that a complete fix won’t come until September.
Google has kicked off its bug bounty for Android, offering security researchers as much as $38,000 — and possibly more — for finding flaws in the world’s most widely used mobile OS.
