Google says some Android phones have a ‘hacking’ problem, Samsung has the solution

Google has a dedicated team — Project Zero — which looks at vulnerabilities and security threats that may pop across devices. This includes Android phones, iPhones among other devices. The Project Zero team has now found 18 zero-day security vulnerabilities. In a blog post, the team detailed what the issues are, how can it be fixed and which devices are at risk.

What Google has to say

Google said that it has conducted several tests and can confirm that “four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim’s phone number.”
