NorthBit, an Israeli software research company, recently pointed out that there are security vulnerabilities in the Android system, which may affect as many as 275 million devices.

NorthBit said that this newly discovered vulnerability exists in Stagefright (Android's media and multimedia library). This is not the first time that a security vulnerability has been found in Stagefright. In October 2015, one billion Android devices received similar threats. Although Google has sent pudding for these problems, the security problem continues. Newly discovered Security issues affect devices from Android 2.2 to Android 4.0, and even Android 5.0 to Android 5.1. In short, except for the latest Android 6.0, other mainstream Android devices will be affected.

NorthBit estimates that this new vulnerability affects as many as 275 million devices, of which the Nexus 5 using the native system is relatively vulnerable to threats. In addition, HTC One, LG G3, Galaxy S5 and other popular devices are "on the list". Fortunately, it is not easy to receive a hacker attack with this vulnerability. The process of triggering the attack may take up to two minutes, and the premise is that you need to enter the specified link and web page, so ordinary users do not need to worry too much.
