Hacking risk on one billion Android devices, this is the way to avoid...

No matter what the smart device is, there is always a risk of hacking on it. The smarter the device, the greater the risk of hacking. Most Android devices are currently being used in the world. There are reports that a bug has come in Android which threatens the users. At the same time, a research company has claimed that there is a risk of hacking on one billion Android devices worldwide. Let's know what is the whole matter?

The report says that there is a risk of hacking on all Android phones launched in 2012 or earlier. According to Google's data, 42.1 percent of Android users around the world are still using Android version 6.0 Marshmallow or older.

According to the Android Security Bulletin, in the year 2019, Google has not released any security update for Android Nougat 7.0 or below. Investigation has found malware in phones like Motorola X, Samsung Galaxy A5, Sony Xperia Z2, LG / Google Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S6.

Now the question is how to know which version is in your phone and what is the way to escape. So if your phone is more than two years old, then go to Settings and check the version of Android and update the phone if any update has come.

Now if you are not getting any update then do not download any third party app. Also avoid downloading any APK file. Use the Google Play store to download the app and do not click on any suspicious link in the message.
