More bad news for Android users.
Update: It was re -published on April 11, with confirmation that the pixel units are now updated and reports to electronic attacks targeting Android phones with new spyware.
We live in interesting times. For the third month, Google confirmed the bad news Android phones are attackedWith the conversion of the other routine monthly security version to an emergency update now. There is one decisive difference this time, with great effects on both Pixel and Samsung.
“There are indicators,” Google warns that CVE-2024-53150 and CVE-2024-53197 may be under a limited targeted exploitation. ” The first is a memory security vulnerability inside the Android nucleus, leaving a domestic data filtering device. If this brings the exploits of forensic medicine to the mind, then the second weakness knocks it to the home. This is the last defect known to be exploited by Cellebrite in Europe.
Although Android Zero Days may now be the base, what is the standard is Samsung that is the corresponding to the speed of Pixel in rushing to these updates. Last month, Galaxy maker was absent from Android repairs again. But Cve-2014-50302 was included in March April update from SamsungA month behind the pixels. More more, both Android repairs are also included in April in the Samsung version in April. This is a big problem.
According to Android hardner GrapinosThese are “the most used vulnerabilities that were exploited in the wilderness [are]
Both the weaknesses of the closed devices “, which made its program” much more difficult to exploit while opening it. “It says that both weaknesses” were exploited by Cellebrite to extract data from closed Android devices. ”
With perfect timing, Android phones (and iPhone) are always updated when new safety reforms are also released by a group of government Intel agencies. “In new consultations” Electronic wing of the UK espionage The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) – Part of GchQ – and the agencies in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United States have revealed details about how to use malicious cyber actors of spyware to target individuals. “
The latest attacks were attributed to the Chinese state representatives, targeting “Uyghur, Tabitan and Taiwanese societies as well as civil society groups … The malicious program – called Monchon and Badbazar – hiding malicious functions within Sharia applications otherwise in a technique known as” Trojanz “.
Trojan hijackers kidnap a device, access to microphones, cameras, and device data including messages and photos, as well as spreading the trial in the actual time. These types of weaknesses are exploited by forensic medicine, e -criminal and government actors. There is a continuous game of cat and mouse with Google, Samsung and other OEMS – as well as Apple – to stay in the foreground, or rather not too far.
But Samsung He has I failed for security updates just as the Android world whispered about its delay in the Android operating system promotions as well. With a noticeable timing, these security updates appeared on the same day as Samsung recently started offering a stable UI 7 / Android 15 to 2024 and 2023.
Once again this month, we have seen criminal exploits corrected by one Android or iPhone, with both global operating systems clearly exposed to the deep pockets of the sick industry to break the safety of devices. Samsung One UI 7 protects new protection against these criminal exploits and Android 16 will match the restart of the IPHONE activity, making such more difficult exploits. Actual times already.
