- There's a teeny tiny bug in the Samsung Exynos chipsets used in some minor, unpopular devices, like Google's Pixel 6 and 7, Samsung's S22 and various mid-range models, and the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5. (Ars Technica)
The teeny tiny problem it presents is that people can hack your phone simply by calling it.
Or your watch.
Oops.
I've noticed I've been receiving a lot of spam calls to my mobile phone recently. Fortunately it doesn't use a Samsung chipset. I also have a Samsung phone but it's safely powered off right now.
If you have a Pixel 7 there's a fix right now so you just need to grab the latest update. If you have a Pixel 6 you're fucked: The solution is to turn off WiFi calling and voice-over-LTE, but Google in its infinite wisdom doesn't let you do that.
