Owners of a Samsung Galaxy S6, if safety is an important criterion in choosing a phone, you might think twice about your decision. The Project Zero division of Google, which specializes in security research, unveiled the result of a year in which its teams have looked in July: hack the high-end smartphone from Samsung.
The least one can say is that hunting was good: in a week, 11 critical flaws have been unearthed to access the phone. Whether through an application or remotely, they were able to intercept device data, whether messages, contacts or pictures.

It is not worthwhile to point the finger at the Android system, which is, for these flaws in any case, not cause problems. Everything is actually related to the overlay software so dear to Samsung, TouchWiz. However, no need to panic, looking at his Galaxy S6: according to its habits, the division reports its findings to Samsung in stride.
If any abnormalities have not yet been corrected at this time (only 8 have disappeared from the last update in October), a next upgrade is expected to eradicate completely by the end of the month . Indeed, just as Google, Samsung now publishes monthly patches for its phones, to ensure optimum safety.
