Qualcomm CPU vulnerability found: 900 million Android devices worldwide affected
Information security research company Check Point recently discovered four new vulnerabilities in Android phones with Qualcomm processors. Through these vulnerabilities, hackers can take full control of affected phones. These vulnerabilities are called "Quadrooter" and affect more than 900 million phones and tablets. Hackers can trick users into installing malicious applications without requesting any special permissions. After the application is installed, hackers can gain root permissions and then take full control of the affected Android device, including the data and hardware in it, such as the camera and microphone. Google's own-brand Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P, as well as Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are all affected by this vulnerability . The recently released BlackBerry DTEK50, although called the "most secure Android smartphone", still cannot get rid of this vulnerability. A Google spokesperson confirmed that the patches to fix these vulnerabilities will not be fully released until September.
