The package that users will receive weighs a little over 500 MB. And it includes various Bluetooth stability improvements. But this is not all. Because with the November update they also add a major fix. The one that solves the problem called KRACK for WiFi networks.
Security update for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +
Just a weeks ago, we told you that a vulnerability had been detected in the protocols of WiFi networks around the world. It was an exploit that criminals could take advantage of to intercept the communications of devices connected to WiFi networks.
The only existing solution for this problem that affects users around the world is through an explicit fix by the manufacturers. What Samsung is providing with this data package is precisely this. That is why it is so important that we install the update to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + as soon as possible.
To receive the security update, simply access the Settings section of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +. Next, you have to click on the option About device> Software updates> Update now.
Keep in mind that before updating you will have to have prepared the device well. It will be enough that you have the battery fully charged (make sure it is, at least, at 50% of its capacity). Also that you are connected to a WiFi wireless network that can provide stability during the download process. Also during installation.
