❐ 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.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★You guys are the Best!! I hadn't even heard of the 'Heartbleed' vulnerability yet! Your team at Lookout were the first ones to notify me, and you immediately offered this app to detect the vulnerability within my system! Thank You for that! Lookout is #1 in Android security!! I knew that even before this threat appeared! But this situation and your reaction to it, just put you over the top, in my opinion!! Keep up the good work!!!
5 ★App does exactly what it says. It tells you if the version android running on your device is vulnerable to Heart Bleed it will also ask if you want to send your information from the scan back to Lookout. Win-win.
5 ★I read about this vulnerability last week and contacted the maker of my phone and my tablet. They never responded. Thanks Lookout, my tablet is enabled, my phone is not. This is great to know. Lookout is the best" Big Brother" an android user can have.
4 ★Ronald deasy you are incorrect.as the guy stated it's ssl injection wich is based on sites etc. and one who is slow facecrook.They failed test unless they pushed a update yesterday too fix..
3 ★Excellent for Lookout to alert people who who would normally be unawares of this issue. Only average implementation. Only reports on OS vulnerability. Bluebox Heartbleed Scanner will scan all apps on device & report.
1 ★Tells everyone and every phone has it. But there is actually a list of phones that has this problem. They are trying to find ways to get your money
5 ★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
5 ★Its nice to know there are Apps like this. With all the cyber criminals out there, Apps like this are needed to let the common men/women trying to make an honest living know what's going on before there life is ruined.
4 ★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!
5 ★Thank you so much for just looking out for not only my device but others as well. I have heartbleed but its not enabled. I wouldn't have known if it weren't for you guys thank you again.
5 ★Trust look apps are upto the mark it delivers the necessary requirements in all it's app that is developed...this one is lacking a feature but still I give you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.But why...? Their is no cure for this one it only detects the vulnerable and informs u the status what about the cure in order to protect the vulnerable. I think adding this will make this app for another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐hope u can work on it. Nice app but for now uninstalling.
5 ★As the title says, it's a detector. It won't fix, won't direct you to a site where it gets fixed, doesn't suggest a solution: it detects if your device is at risk or not. It does a great job at that.
