Google says that failure to Android system is not cause for alarm – SAPO Tek

An investigation of Check Point launched this week panic among users of the Android platform. Cyber ​​security firm revealed that a failure in about 900 million smartphones and tablets with Google’s operating system operating on Qualcomm processors would be vulnerable to cyber attacks. Failure called QuadRooter, allow hackers to gain control over these devices.

But Google now says his Verify Apps feature, which, according to Android Central site, is part of Google Play package Services and is default in versions 4.2 of Android and higher, identifies, blocks, and removes this type of vulnerability.

according to this information, the website indicates that over 90% of Android devices can automatically lock the action of this exploit. The remaining devices with operating systems below the Jelly Bean can enable scanning and applications in Google’s security settings.

As we can see, the scare that the discovery of QuadRooter preached to Android users may have been mere fire of view. However, it is still a situation that deserves attention and alert to the fact that, even with sensing features and removing vulnerabilities, failures do not cease to exist. But how did Google, better safe than sorry.
