Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has recently issued a warning and this warning is especially for Android users. Whether they are using an Android phone or an Android tablet. Let us tell you that CERT-In comes under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
According to CERT-In, many flaws have been found in Android OS, and by using this, hackers can extract your important information and data from your phone. In such a situation, it is important to know which Android versions are at risk. This includes Android 12, Android 12L, Android 13 and Android 14.
The problem arising because of this
According to Cert-In, these problems are caused by flaws in the Android framework, system, Google Play system updates, kernel, Arm components, imagination technology and Qualcomm’s closed-source components.
Due to these flaws, if a hacker wants to hack your phone, it will be very easy for him. After hacking your phone, the hacker can steal data from your phone and sell that data on the dark web.
