Breaking down the new Qualcomm chip vulnerability | Kaspersky official blog

AI-suggested

Qualcomm plans to fix the vulnerability in future chip designs. Users should enforce strict physical control over devices, avoid leaving them unattended especially during travel or repairs, and only use authorized service centers. Regular firmware updates should be applied to mitigate other vulnerabilities, though they do not fix this BootROM issue. Using security software such as Kaspersky for Android can help protect against other threats that might compound this vulnerability. If suspicious device behavior is observed (overheating, unusual network traffic, strange app activity), a full power cycle (removing or draining the battery) can remove the malicious code. Users should monitor official Qualcomm advisories for updates.
