A zero-day vulnerability found in several Qualcomm chipsets was recently exploited to target Android users.
The vulnerability affects 64 chipsets, including Snapdragon SoCs, modems, and FastConnect connectivity modules.
Qualcomm has already shared a patch addressing the issue with OEMs.
Qualcomm has shed light on a zero-day vulnerability found in its chipsets that was recently exploited to target Android users. The vulnerability reportedly affects a wide range of chipsets found on Android phones (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-phones-568001/), including mid-range and flagship SoCs, modems, and FastConnect connectivity modules.
Discovered by security researchers at Google’s Threat Analysis Group and Amnesty International’s Security Lab, the zero-day vulnerability was reportedly exploited to target individuals instead of being used for a widespread attack (via TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/09/hackers-were-targeting-android-users-with-qualcomm-zero-day/)). However, little is known about the malefactors or the affected users at the moment.
