At 11:40 EST I received a text message from
#24719 saying:
"Service Msg: Your phone requires a software update. You will receive a notification on your phone. Please click 'Install' to update. It's safe and secure."
It immediately striked me as suspicious and odd, as I don't believe I've ever seen a software update come through a text message like that. A quick Google search was not much help, some sources say it "could be malware", some say it's legit, others say it downloaded automatically and bricked their phone. I would like to know if I should be concerned about the text or not. If the result of this thread is inconclusive, I may result in hard resetting my phone as a precautionary measure to prevent a negative impact if it is in fact malware of some type.
Thank you for your time!
