A major security and data breach issue is worrying android phone users, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The security researchers and experts at Check Point have said that over 400 vulnerabilities in the code have been discovered. According to the researchers and experts at Check Point, these vulnerabilities in the code were found within the Qualcomm Digital Signal Processor unit (Digital Signal Processor) chips.

According to the researchers at Check Point, these vulnerabilities that were there in the code could potentially allow an attacker or hijacker to turn the phone into a perfect spying tool All this, without any interaction from the user required.

All the information that can be extracted from the phone includes various types like- photos, videos, call-recording, real-time microphone data, GPS and even the location data

The researchers and the cybersecurity experts have also warned that an attacker or hijacker could potentially even make a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset-powered Android phone unresponsive, making it all useless and incompetent. According to the researchers, the attackers could make all the information that is stored on this phone permanently unavailable – including photos, videos, contact details. The most shocking part of this malware is that could also hide inside phones and track down the activities of the phone and even becomes unremovable.

Digital Signal Processor, also known as DSP is an important chipset that has both hardware and software and is specially designed to enable each component on a smartphone. It is so capable and efficient that it is quick charging capabilities, control video, HD Capture, AR features along with audio features too.

These vulnerabilities are not known completely yet and there is hardly anything that the end-users can do end users can do, apart from waiting for a software patch from their mobile brand.
