It's a cool and interesting type of attack, but I really don't care for the breathless clickbait headlines that are sourced to a few security researchers demonstrating an attack in a lab, that has already been patched against and has never been seen in the wild.

- rs186 1y agoIn Android world, there is not such thing as "has been patched". It is always A complex situation with all different OEMs, devices and versions. The patch was committed about 3 months ago, possibly available to OEMs as binary earlier, but devices are probably just receiving these patches. I bet at least half of all affected Android devices in the world have not got the patch yet if I am optimistic. It's probably near 80-90%.
