The Google Project Zero team discovered a severe exploit on Wifi cards used in Android smartphones from various manufacturers and Iphones with iOS. According to the team, the vulnerability allows cyber criminals to access cell phones and gain full control of the device. The attacker could get access to emails, social networks, messenger apps and even banking applications. Not only that, even this severe flaw could allow the attacker to take control of the affected devices without any user interaction and even the user won't know at all if a malicious person connected to the same network could very easily and silently trespass into the device.
