As soon as you answer the phone, your bank information will be stolen.
Everyone is used to storing most of their personal information on their smartphones: including credit card information, bank passwords, personal identity information, etc. The issue of mobile phone privacy and security must not be ignored.
Google Project Zero recently announced that Samsung’s Exynos Modems data chips produced from 2022 to early 2023 have 18 0-day security vulnerabilities, affecting as many as 20 models of smartphones.
As long as you know your phone number, you can hack into your phone and steal your bank information as soon as you answer the phone!
4 Serious Vulnerabilities: Immediately Get Hit as soon as you answer the phone
Four of the 18 zero-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-24033, CVE-2023-26496, CVE-2023-26497, and CVE-2023-26498) are the most severe, allowing hackers to conduct remote code execution.
Confirmed by the Project Zero test, it was found that hackers can use these four vulnerabilities to hack into the mobile phone from a remote location without interacting with the user and only need to know the user’s phone number.0-day vulnerability allows hackers to perform remote code intrusion
According to the report of Project Zero, the mobile phones that may be affected include Samsung, Google Pixel series and Vivo, etc., including some popular models:
- Samsung: S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21s, A13, A12 and A04 series
- Google: Pixel 6, 7 series6a
- Vivo: S16, S15, S6, X70, X60, X30 series
Since the 0-day vulnerability requires the manufacturer to release a repair update to complete the solution, if you are using the above models, you can first turn off the WiFi calling and VoLTE functions of the mobile phone.
Project Zero also recommends that the user update the latest version of the mobile phone as soon as possible. Make sure the phone works on the bugfix version.
