00:00Security concerns rise among Android users as Google warned them to stop using Wi-Fi for calling.
00:06The Heal reports Google's Project Zero team detected vulnerabilities in Exynos chipsets, made by Samsung.
00:13According to the report, four of them can allow Internet-to-baseband remote code execution,
00:19meaning hackers have the ability to remotely compromise certain Android phones.
00:23For a successful hack, the hacker would only need to know your phone number.
00:28Google said, with limited additional research and development,
00:32we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational exploit
00:36to compromise affected devices silently and remotely.
00:40Another 14 vulnerabilities were targeted, but they were determined to be not as severe.
00:45Google said Pixel phones already received a fix for the vulnerabilities,
00:50while Samsung lists that an update was released for some of them.
00:53The Heal recommends to those who haven't updated their phones to turn off Wi-Fi calling
00:58and voice over LTE to protect from hackers.
