• A Samsung community moderator has confirmed the company will fix the Wi-Fi calling vulnerability affecting Samsung phones with Exynos processors in April.
• The flaw found by Google allows hackers to remotely access affected devices using just a phone number.

Last week, Google disclosed several severe active flaws in Samsung’s Exynos chips that could allow hackers to remotely hack smartphones by simply knowing a phone number. The issue affects not only a number of Samsung phones but also Vivo and Google Pixel devices. While Google has patched the vulnerabilities through its March security update for Pixels, it appears affected Samsung Galaxy devices still remain at risk, at least for a few more days.
