NEW DELHI: The Government has issued additional security warnings this week, specifically targeting users of Samsung Galaxy phones. The security advisory from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) highlights multiple vulnerabilities impacting millions of Samsung Galaxy phones, spanning both older and newer models.
Issued on December 13, the security alert categorizes the concern as high-risk, emphasizing the urgent need for existing Samsung users to promptly update their phone’s operating system or firmware.
“Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Samsung products that could allow an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions, access sensitive information, and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system,” CERT said in its vulnerability note.
Users of Samsung Galaxy phones are advised to promptly update their device’s operating system (OS) and firmware, as suggested by the reports. Failing to do so could render Samsung models vulnerable to potential threats from hackers.
