If
you are a fan of Samsung Galaxy series, the following news about secure matter
of Samsung counts for you.
According
to the report of foreign media, a security breach appeared in devices of Samsung
Galaxy series and may lead to leaking personal private information. What’s
worse, there haven’t solutions to fix vulnerabilities so far.
In
the eyes of NowSecure Corporation, the source of the security breach may hide
in input method-Swift, which can allow long-distance attackers to take control
of network flow of users and carry arbitrary code. To make matters worse, this
App can’t be uninstalled. Even though you don’t use it, hackers can still utilize
the vulnerabilities.
NowSecure
said they had announced the security breach to Samsung and Google team last December.
Though Samsung had supplied hotfix to solve the problem, it is still uncertain
when the patch will be formerly published.
What
worries people is that the scope of vulnerability influence is so huge that
over 0.6 billion devices have been affected, including Samsung Galaxy S6, S5, S4,
S4 mini. Even the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile can’t escape from this
suffering.
There
were not responses from Samsung about the incident at present. Maybe we need to
wait for their reply to make it clear.
