If you have an Android phone, it is time to update your system!
Security firm Check Point has recently disclosed four security flaws that allow an attacker to completely take over your Android phone.
All that is necessary is for an attacker to trick the user into installing a malicious application - without any special permissions.
The set of vulnerabilities (going by the name of 'Quadrooter') appears to impact only phones based on Qualcomm chips.
Incredibly, one of the four vulnerabilities is set to be fixed only in September.
Note: At the time of this writing, Check Point website is currently experiencing technical difficulties, most likely due to overwhelming demands from overly concerned Android owners from around the globe. The situation should improve shortly.
