Cyber security firm Zimperium on Monday warned of a flaw in the world’s most popular smartphone operating system that lets hackers take control with a text message.
“Attackers only need your mobile number, using which they can remotely execute code via a specially crafted media file delivered via MMS (text message),” Zimperium Mobile Security said in a blog post.
“A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it. You will only see the notification.”
Android code dubbed “Stagefright” was at the heart of the problem, according to Zimperium
