Consumer Group Sues Samsung Over Lack of Updates for Smart Phones

A Dutch consumer group has filed suit against Samsung, alleging the company fails to clearly inform customers how long devices will receive software and security updates; the article frames the lawsuit within broader concerns about Android fragmentation and cites past widespread vulnerabilities (such as Stagefright) as examples of the risks created by slow or inconsistent patching. Samsung responded that security is a priority and that it is improving communications about security issues.
