Back in October last year reports came out reporting some bad news concerning Galaxy.

This related to security issues that were uncovered as part of the October security maintenance release (SMR).

Lets address the critical vulnerabilities concerning Galaxy S9 and Note 9.

What is it that theyre vulnerable to?

There is an issue that has been given a name and it is rated as being critical.

Its name is SVE-2019-15435.

Details were private at the time to get to minimize the risk at the time.

What else do we know about it?

The issue concerned the IMEI security mechanism.

Of course this makes it far more attractive to criminals who would sell with a clean IMEI number.

It just shows everyone how far criminals are prepared to go so that make money.

What is Samsung Doing To Protect Their Phones?

All users of the devices are recommended to update as soon as possible.

It looks the ongoing war against hackers is set to continue for some time to come.

This just shows how easy it is for the people on the other side of the war.

All they have to do is purchase some online spyware.

Its going to be a long fight to stop these people.
