The buzz was about a vulnerability. And it was associated with the sim card. According to the news there are some sim card which can be used by malware. It is not really a great to threat to all. But it is better to stay on the safer side. It is a kind of flaw which lies in the sim encryption itself. Now there are around millions of device around the web which can be affected and cause problem. The sim flaw allows the attacker to remove attack on your device and control it. But yet there is no clarification available that anyone has really affected with it. Rightnow you can ignore that. For android you must keep your device updated.
