Of course it's going to happen again, given the abysmal state of security in QSEE, Qualcom's implementation of Trust Zone. I used to do software/firmware security reviews at Google, and let me tell you that what Gal found at [1] would have never passed my reviews had Qualcomm had a similar internal security process in place. This is one of the many reasons Google realized they couldn't trust vendors, so they rolled out their own security chip Titan M: https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/titan-m-makes-pixel-3-our-most-secure-phone-yet/ https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/titan-m-makes-pixel-3... So, if you want a secure phone, buy a Pixel 3 or later.
