❐ More About Heartbleed Security Scanner
Heartbleed Security Scanner works by determining what version of OpenSSL your device is using. If your device is using one of the affected versions of OpenSSL, we then check to see if the specific vulnerable feature called heartbeats is enabled.
Q&A
■ What is Heartbleed?
Heartbleed is a software flaw in the OpenSSL “Heartbeat” function that helps keep secure connections alive. This function was found to be vulnerable to manipulation in a way that allows an attacker to steal up to 64K of data at a time from the active memory of affected systems. The bug, found by researchers from Codenomicon and Google, and filed with the following reference number – CVE-2014-0160, impacts any infrastructure that includes the affected versions of OpenSSL.
■ Will Heartbleed Security Scanner fix the Heartbleed vulnerability?
Heartbleed Security Scanner is not meant to fix this vulnerability, as the vulnerability will need to be patched by Google or your device manufacturer. Heartbleed Security Scanner is only meant to keep you informed about the status of your device. The good news is that Lookout has not yet seen the Heartbleed vulnerability exploited on a mobile device.

■ Will Heartbleed Security Scanner tell me if my apps are affected?
Heartbleed Security Scanner will not detect whether any of the services or accounts (the apps and websites you visit) on your device are vulnerable. Heartbleed Security Scanner is only meant to detect vulnerabilities in Android.
In other words, your operating system might be fine, but the websites you’re accessing might not. Look out for emails from companies with whom you have online accounts. If they needed to issue a patch, hopefully they will be alerting their consumers.
Note on PermissionsHeartbleed Security Scanner only uses the Internet permission when you explicitly share the results of your scan with us. If you choose not to, we won't collect any information.

Best app protection. I've used this service since 2011
For older versions of Android. Not 10
Astonishing App Development!
Plz update for version 10,11
It faild to detect my broken heart
Can someone tell me what is vulnerabilities ?
It should make it more clear that systems with 1.0.x that have heartbeat disabled are absolutely not vulnerable to this exploit. Clicking send results to Lookout gave me a page with more detailed, and slightly technical information that confirmed I am using 1.0.1 with heartbeat safely disabled. Other than that, it's quite nice to have this vulnerability scan from a highly trusted source, thanks.
Thanks for the info but like someone else commented. The issues already been patched. Just switch to a 3rd party app until your version of android is updated. Remember the android update goes through your cell provider. their the ones halting patches.
It does exactly what it says, let's you know if your system is affected as well as if the vulnerable behavior is enabled. Would be 5 starts if it was able to scan my apps also. As it is, this only scans your operating system to see if your OpenSSL is affected. However, this shortfall is clearly stated in the description. Just would be ideal if it did lol
This app only advert for lookout security software it is useless. It tells you that it only checks Android and not apps, seeing that you use apps to connect to the Internet it's useless. By the way there is only one version of Android thats vulnerable 4.1.2 I think(check I have the right number there).
This little app does the job quickly and as promised. It checks your phone for the very nasty Heartbleed vulnerability. Hopefully with the results that are being shared to Lookout, the data will be released to handset manufacturers to get the exploit fixed on vulnerable devices. My Verizon Galaxy S3 is reported to not be vulnerable by this tool. Android 4.3 is installed.
For those who say "no one comes up saying their phone is safe" I invite you to see my results: "heartbleed was not detected on your device". Lookout is an excellent viral tester, phone locator and overall safety net and having this quick app to test for "the big one" is great. It being free shows a great work ethic. I trust Lockout so I naturally trusted this free app to be helpful as well. Keep up the great job Lockout team!
I got an email for this and downloaded it right quick. a split second after opening it, it told me 'device not infected','everything ok'. their security software warned me of one of the worst mal-ware game apps (stickman shooter) before I even opened it.
If you'd like to know exactly which APPS have an Open SSL, then grab Bluebox Heartbleed Detector (free!). I faithfully use Lookout Security & Heartbleed, but I wanted more details. I found out thru Bluebox I have 4 apps with an OpenSSL. 2 apps I never use so I just disabled them (obviously not on the list now) & 2 of the many games I've installed. They're not vulnerable as the heartbeats are disabled but at least now I know what to have fixed or uninstalled.
Let me know that the version of openssl is affected by heartbleed on my device. But vulnerable behavior is not enabled. Then it let's me know that I'm okay :D. Pretty simple app and I am prob going to uninstall soon. But I would have not know this without this app.
This app only checks if the android version is 4.1.1 and says everything is OK. It needs to check every app!! A 10 year old kid can write an app that checks android version. Loookout. . Look at the other apps from Bluebox or BETTER heartbleed detectors. If only there was zero star.
Applications like this just serve to aggravate the entire situation making out that heartbleed is worse then it is. Regardless of weather your base OS is effective there is nothing we can really so as end users until an update is released. Second, the applications that use openssl do not have to use the same versions as the base Os and have more then likely been patched already...non the less. Be warned, stick to third party apps that have already been patched. If you are unsure, use Google. But this app..
Now understanding an app from os which means (Operating Systems) look it up. OS is NOT an app! One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Unless YOU allowed it. In a more cheerful voice THANK YOU LOOKOUT you haven't fail me yet. You have protected me for little over 5 years. I enjoy my M-8! You keep doing you and ignore the uneducated. Love, love just love this company. I wish I could give more stars!
Keeping me safe is appreciated. I just want to say "Thank you for doing what you all do for me n keeping me n my devices safe from those that seek to "do harm to others", which is all to prevalent in this day n age. It is truly sad that people have "nothing better to do with their lives", than to try to inflict their misery n self-serving rudeness out on people, who have enough to worry about already, without their misguided efforts. They could put their time, if they're so smart n creative, into being kind
I have a problem 4 my phone, but no help is there for me yet. I'll wait for the company to hopefully fix my problem. I'm glad this app told me I did have a problem though. Now I can keep asking for a fix often. Hey, squeaky wheels get fixed!
For the last few years that I've been using it, they have always stayed on top of any possible threats to all our mobile devices. Keep up the great work Lookout, you rock!
Clicked the button to send my info to you guys. Thank you for a fast scanner. Will be back to install on my tablet :)) UPDATE: LG G PAD V700 10.1 Same results... Its their but not active. Sent results to your labs. So WHY hasn't google or manufacturers patched this yet? I purchased my tab at christmas and a new cell 2 weeks ago. Really no excuse for Google. Its like having a front door with broken locks. Door closes but thats it. lol Thank you guys! Great learning experience 😀
My scan came back that my phone has the vulnerability but isn't enable.Blame the greedy Fing cell service providers. Most won't upgrade the OS on older phones because then you won't by the new ones.
Does a great job checking your OS however Google has publicly named the OS version that vulnerable. Would be better if it could check app like one from Bluebox :(
Simple to use if you don't understand the or "how" or the "why" behind heartbleed. Just install and run for instant results. It does not get more simple than that.
