Android: Serious WARNING for MILLIONS of Phones from Google
Android has these security patches available for all those who are willing to install them, but this only if we are talking about Pixel series phones, because in the case of the others, it is necessary for the manufacturers to provide the patches. In Android versions that are not updated to have security patches installed, these vulnerabilities can be an extremely serious problem for users who do not know how to effectively protect themselves against them.
Android has constantly discovered various vulnerabilities, just like any other operating system, and Googlers are constantly working to solve all major problems as they are discovered by the company's engineers. If you do not have the latest security patches for Android installed in your terminals, then it is important not to install applications from unknown stores, nor to access websites you do not know.
Android can be a very safe operating system, if people are careful not to install applications from unknown stores, but in general people are not careful, so they often infect their terminals without knowing.
