Google warns of new Android vulnerability that exposes your phone using a PNG file

Google has said that it has notified its Android partners of this issue a month before. Hackers are always on the prowl to steal your data and in relation to that Google has announced that it has uncovered a bug which can hack into Android smartphones using malicious PNG files. The problem was first made public on Google’s Android Security Bulletin, which said that a massive flaw in the OS’ framework can let a hacker run an unauthorised code on your device using a special type of PNG file which, at first glance, will look harmless. Google has said that it has notified all its Android partners of this issue a month before publishing this report. However, those people using Android devices of third-party companies would need to keep on top of the latest Android update as they can take months to come out.
