According to her studies Tencent Blade, the devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon can be very easily hacked simply because they are connected to WiFi networks.
Μa new research from Tencent Blade (the department dealing with the security of the Chinese giant Tencent) was presented at the conference Black Hat in Las Vegas and brought to the fore two very important security vulnerabilities that affect almost all Android smartphones and many other gadgets.
According to the team's studies, these devices can be hacked very easily simply because they are connected to WiFi networks. Security vulnerabilities were discovered in the processors Qualcomm Snapdragon (that's why they were named "QualPwn") And practically enable hackers to access the user's device simply by connecting to the same WiFi network.
The vulnerabilities concern how Snapdragon processors connect to WiFi networks, which hackers exploit to send malicious information packets to the device over the shared WiFi network and then "run" their code to gain full control of the device. of the victim.
Given the penetration of Snapdragon processors in the majority of Android smartphones (and not only), you realize that the problem affects millions of users around the world. For its part, the Qualcomm states it has already informed its partners about this issue, while the Google closes security gaps with security update this month (August 2019) for Android smartphones.
