Android users careful about the hackers



All of us like smartphone, some of us like I-phone and some of us like Android phone. Stealing data is now common thing. Internet made our life much easier now and also make it kinda difficult. Few months ago s lot of people died in accident , because people hacked the Jeep through internet.

Internet fraudulent has become daily basis and they find one or another way to get in. Few days ago , the news  came about stragefright , a vulnerability in practically all Android devices that can be exploited with a simple text. In order take over the device all someone has to do is send a verities of text. And the recipient doesn't have to open it , by receiving it will do the trick. As a  result , it gives the total control to the hacker.

Although there are no solid reports about stagefright. According to Businessinsider ,Stagefright can attack phone running Android version 2.2 and higher , making an estimated 950 million devices vulnerable . The thing is, it makes it so easier for the hackers to take over the device and get all the information.

Furthermore, Google denied that , all the android phone have the strong security system. But normally , all the Android malware comes through the installation of dodgy apps outside of the protected walls of Google play. The thing is Android is opens source operating system where anyone can take the software and put it on their phone or tablet. Because each manufacturer version of Android is different , so most of the devices do not get the update as soon as the software available.


Further steps are taking by the big companies. The German wireless carrier , Deutsche Talekom, announced that it will take off the MMS from the devices. Also Google and Samsung said they will send monthly security updates.  But the problem is Android with so many devices on so many different carriers running so many different variation of Android, so for Google it will be almost impossible to make sure all the users are safe. Although Google promised that they will come up with something more stronger to protect the users.
