There was a cyber security flaw found in Qualcomm's modems last week that allows hackers to access smartphones with those particular modems and chips and extract the user's call history, and even listen in to their conversations. Google took note of that and would be patching it soon though. Last week also revealed that Apple kept quiet about a security breach that happened in 2015 where as much as 128 million iPhones were affected. The malware attack happened via the App Store and affected about 4,000 apps at the time. Over 200,000 user's information has been extracted from the attack. While Apple had an action plan, they did not follow through, or execute their action plan.
All of these things brings us to question our own cyber security concerns. Are we really safe from any cyber attack? Do you need an anti-virus program on your PC, Mac, Android, or even iPhone? Just because there are more cyber security concerns on an Android device, are you actually much safer on an Apple iPhone? What do we do then?
