The phones of Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, and many other manufacturers of smartphones with the Android operating system, are in danger because of a new hack that cannot be stopped so easily. According to a company specializing in computer security, no less than 1 billion phones with the Android operating system are vulnerable to this hack, and users cannot do much to protect themselves against it.
Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. phones can be exploited to steal people's email addresses through a hack based on SMS messages that exploit an Android vulnerability. After an SMS message of this kind is received on a phone with this operating system, all traffic related to emails can be intercepted by hackers to analyze absolutely all the information.
Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony phones are IN DANGER because of a new HACK
Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. phones can be exploited through a hack based on a counterfeit message that resembles the one that mobile operators send to modify network settings. These messages automatically install the changes as if it were a message from the operator, and the implemented settings modify the operation of the Android phone to redirect email traffic to the hackers' server.
“Given the popularity of Android devices, this is a critical vulnerability that needs to be addressed. Without a stronger form of authentication, it's easy for a malicious agent to launch an over-the-air phishing attack.”
Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. phones can be exploited regardless of which mobile operator is used, or which version of Android is installed in them, and this is because there are no protection methods. It seems that Samsung phones are the most vulnerable, and this is because messages of this kind are not verified, so if the user accepts them, the changes to the settings are made automatically, without any other operation.
Huawei, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. phones can therefore be very easily exploited by hackers so that they can read everything we receive or send via email, and this is an extremely serious problem.
