Samsung GALAXY S10. Samsung phones are not known to be the most secure in the world, and a researcher in computer security managed to discover a hack based on which almost any Korean smartphone can be blocked. We are talking about a temporary blocking of the Samsung GALAXY S10, or any other models that have the Knox security system implemented, all because of the way this platform of the Korean company was thought.

The researcher wrote a malicious application to demonstrate how the Knox system can be exploited, and with its help he creates a DoS attack in phones, which temporarily prevents their use by users. The hack only applies to accessing secure files from Knox, when a user of the Samsung GALAXY S10, or other models, accesses that file, being sent back to the first page of the operating system launcher.

Although the hack can also be applied to the Samsung GALAXY S10, Samsung does not consider this to be a serious problem for its phones, so it decided not to make any changes to Knox that would block the hack.
The device will be inoperable due to this local DoS [denial of service]. Every time the victim will open the [Knox] SecureFolder app, the container will be locked and every time he will try to use his phone, the phone will come back directly to the first page of the launcher.

From Safe Mode, users can install the problematic application, and the bad part is that that hack code can be hidden in any application published in Google Play, so it can be hidden anywhere. Even so, Samsung does not consider this to be a problem, although on the Samsung GALAXY S10, or older models, Knox was thought of as a secure environment to keep files completely safe, but the system itself is not 100 % "untouchable".
