About Snapdragon chip flaws put >1 billion Android phones at risk of data theft
"A billion or more Android devices are vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools by exploiting more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip, researchers reported this week.
The vulnerabilities can be exploited when a target downloads a video or other content that’s rendered by the chip. Targets can also be attacked by installing malicious apps that require no permissions at all."
This wasn't expected from the biggest chipset manufacturer. It is utterly shocking & we must keep this in mind before purchasing our next Android phone.
