Flaws in Qualcomm chips could allow snooping, Check Point finds

More than 400 vulnerabilities in chips used in 40% of the worlds cellphones and devices could allow hackers to spy on users GPS location and microphones in real-time, according to new Check Point research. Qualcomm said it has seen no evidence that hackers have exploited the vulnerabilities, and that it is working with original equipment manufacturers to remedy the issue. The vulnerabilities do not appear to affect iPhones, but in Android devices, if there is one original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, that has a vulnerable Snapdragon DSP the vulnerability can essentially spread to others.”]
