What happens when you saw your smartphone misbehave being making calls, sending messages and using overall functions of your system without your prior permission, previously ios officials have challenged that iOS is the leading top encrypted device as well as OS which is unable to breach by any hackers, but it seems it is been challange accepted.
Recently from different people around the world have accepted the challenge to transmit or hack into the iOS system some of the researchers from France have discovered new vulnerability in both iPhone devices as well as Android devices with similar hacking way, from using devices Google Now and other Apple Siri.
The France researchers which is government undertaking as ANSSI have found that hackers can contact and control iOS application as Siri however you might have thought that siri can only listen words but here we have seen the researchers have an ability to breach into the siri application and from their – hackers can sent radioactive ways which will translate with transmitting the signal without utter a single word they can speak with Siri, yes it is now possible because now it have came in report, and this can be only possible when both the smartphone as Android Google Now and iOS Siri having plugged headphones inbulit microphone.
Hackers Controlling Your Smartphone Having Siri Or Google Now With Using Radio-Waves From 16 Feet Away
Hackers have not spent much amount in hacking this devices just a radio transmitter and both the handset as Android and iOS smartphone
Now what’s the procedure of doing this, we have posted YouTube Video too later you can see below.
Their so not so tricky it’s easy to breach but since nobody have done like this, the height of hacking, just a radio transmitter have a leading role in the play as it silently sends radio waves to trigger command any devices as Android or iOS, but with the help of Headphones which can be speakable so that the waves can be noticed and listen by the receiver of the headphones and translate automatically with the programmed language of both the OS, the waves for general human being cannot be noticeable as you know.
Firstly they can obviously free to make calls, sent text messages, the eavesdropping device can receive calls from the victim cell phone that means hacker can call from the victim cell phone to his device, able to use web browser and can browse malicious websites, and lot of more can be done with using internet from victim’s cell phone as using Facebook and other social sites to phishing and sent spam messages. Do not remain open your Siri or Google Now while you lock your screen, tru off this application after using it and before locking your phone., if you think any suspicious around you (Means any guy seems to be a hacker).
So what’s the security in this, just switch off your Siri or Google Now to get secure, when users put this Siri or Google Now On then they are high at security risk from this types of hacks from the lock screen.
The ANSSI researcher from France have contacted Apple Inc and Google Inc via video conference call, both the company have said that soon they will fix this security issue, the researchers have mainly asked them to focus on better shielding on headphone cords which allow hackers to attack via high-powers radio signal or else an electromagnetic sensor having in the phone will block the attackers to breach, the researchers have talked about the new possibilities to block this vulnerability.
Users can set a timer in wakeup for Siri or Google Now, using a software is much more helpful to block such unwanted commands without unlocking screen which is also from fingerprint enabled. Please provide your opinion regarding the topic.
