According to security researchers at Ben- Gurion University Israel the most popular and safe smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 is not " so sure " of hackers. The software company Samsung Knox vaunted security software is basically the "Container " Samsung Galaxy S4 preventing unauthorized access , but this package is vulnerable to hackers . Security breaches are broken.
The reported security hole can be obtained by email , personal data and other information you would like to keep private. The container is assumed to be impermeable for safety violations , including attempts by hackers to break into it. Container Samsung runs a runtime environment but only different for data and applications . This is supposed to prevent any applicatons running outside the container to access the data within it. The report says that even if the application is installed on a device outside the container Knox, the malware could be activated to record all occurring data communication inside the container.
Samsung is not denying the possibility of vulnerability in software Knox Security , but minimizing the possibility of keeping quiet to have it proved by its security researchers. With the disappearance of Blackberry smartphones other companies like Samsung and Apple are trying to fill the niche market of safe and reliable smart phones and other devices. Smart phones Samsung Galaxy S4 were the latest attempt by the Korean company to fill this niche. A few months ago , the Pentagon agreed to the use by the Department of Defense iPads and Apple iPhones . Currently , Samsung smart phones and other devices also have this approval .
Supposedly, the security software company Knox is as safe as the Blackberry software . Until this news by researchers at Ben- Gurion University , at least , the U.S. government It was carefully using the Samsung Galaxy phones. The Knox platform is designed so that users can keep their personal data on the same device that your important data , work-related , which is separately protected by security software from Samsung.
But in the worst case to the surface of the vulnerability reported recently, that it might be possible for hackers to use the security hole to install hostile code that could paralyze the entire network security of a company , the report said , citing cybersecurity experts at Ben- Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.
Researchers at the university said the security breach is considered as a "category one" or more serious vulnerability. The company plans to further investigate the claim , but the report says the university researchers appear to have conducted their tests using GS4 devices that are not loaded with all the software that a business user would.
In a statement from Samsung, who have said that users of its smartphones Galaxy S4 should not worry about the possibilities. His statement says that " Knox core architecture can not be compromised or infiltrated by this type of malware. "
But the question that remains is how safe is their smart phones are really smart to avoid hackers or not. Until then keep your important stuff out of your smartphone.
