Huge security issue found in Android smartphones
Google’s Project Zero research group has highlighted a zero-day vulnerability in the Android operating system that allows malicious parties to attain complete control of victims’ smartphones.
According to Google Project Zero member Maddie Stone, there is evidence that the exploit is being used in the wild, which is why it has de-restricted the bug seven days after reporting it to Android.
