High-severity Qualcomm bug hits Android devices in targeted attacks

[Somegory]

I just read it and this scary AF, that attacker could potentially see what’s on your screen or access files that should be protected including the local storage where some mobile wallets keep encrypted keys.

But as far that I know this malware usually need an app to do the job so you guys should check Settings > Accessibility. Back then I usually approve app like Auto clicker that need to read our screen and do some click. One important thing dont install .apk outside the PlayStore, i believe this malware from outside app

I have problem with app store, you said we shouldn't install apk files out of playstore,, unfortunately even Playstore isn't safe from this dirty apps, Playstore teams won't see through all applications for what they really are until it's too late, this is Playstore for you.

There are so many bad apps on Playstore and they look legit because the malicious side of them are perfectly hidden, if it's obvious people will notice instantly and the app will be removed.

Now is the best time to stop running crypto wallets on android phones, or even iPhones, hardware wallets are the best home for digital currencies.

What about computers? Which computers/laptops use Qualcomm and can be considered potentially at risk to be targeted?

I found this for computers that use their processors, but I didn't read where it is stated that it it affects their PC's too.

Is it enough secure to update the device system to the latest version?

At least it is a lot better than not updating, they have a fix for the current threat, there may be more and they would keep having security patches as it evolves

How to secure our devices from similar attacks possibilities in the future if the hardware can be vulnerable to loopholes?

By updating our devices to the latest security fixes when it becomes available
