Thanks for sharing, read it this Noon… Plus I got the email from Flipboard that I was one of impacted user :confused: :sob:

Now the best part… Used a throw-away email ID for this service, which I forward to my main email ID :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah I read that too today, and got the email :joy:

This app comes pre-installed in Samsung devices, glad I never used it

I had to use a package disabler to remove it because, you know, Samsung and their bloatware. NFL Mobile? FlipBoard? Bixby? Nope, all gone.

#6

NFL mobile? Do you have Verizon? I’m on TMobile and the NFL mobile does not come preinstalled

#7

Yup lol. That’s the second part of the bloatware. $1.50 for a package disabler and it is solid for removing Gear VR and anything else on there that does not want to disable.

Thanks for sharing never heard of flipboard :joy:

Haha I knew it was Verizon. Thankfully the bloatware on TMobile is not too bad compared to other carriers. I used to have a package disabler but now I just disabled them on system settings :grin:

Flipboard is an app based news aggregator, based on your choices for topics… Best of its kind.

You may compare it to something like Apple News

Friendly reminder that you should also make sure to never use the same password for two different sites.

If you used the same password for flipboard somewhere else, you should ALSO change those passwords immediately.
