Umcwaningi wezokuphepha uthole isiphazamisi sesofthiwe kukhibhodi ezenzakalelayo ye-Samsung esidalule ama-smartphones angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-600 engcupheni yokugetshengwa. U-Ryan Welton ovela ku-NowSecure uchaze ukuba sengozini kwekhibhodi ye-SwiftKey efakwe ngaphambili ezigidini zamafoni e-Samsung. Ukusesha amaphekhi olimi ngendlela yezibuyekezo nokuwalanda akwenzeki ngoxhumano olubethelwe, kodwa kuthunyelwa kuphela njengombhalo ongenalutho.
Ngakho-ke i-Welton yakwazi ukuxhaphaza lobu bungozi ngokudala iseva ye-spoof-proxy nokuthumela ikhodi enonya kudivayisi esengozini kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwedatha okuqinisekisa ukuthi ikhodi enonya ihlala kudivayisi. Lapho u-Welton esethole ukufinyelela kumaselula asengozini, angaqala ngokushesha ukusebenzisa amadivaysi ngaphandle ukuze umsebenzisi azi ngakho. Uma umhlaseli engase asebenzise iphutha lokuvikeleka, angase antshontshe idatha ebucayi ehlanganisa imilayezo yombhalo, abathintwayo, amaphasiwedi noma ukungena ngemvume kwe-akhawunti yasebhange. Ingasaphathwa ukuthi iphutha lingaphinde lisetshenziswe ukuze kulandelelwe abasebenzisi.
AbakwaSamsung sebevele baphawule ngale nkinga eshiwo ngoNovemba nyakenye futhi bathi leli phutha lizolungiswa kumadivayisi ane Androidom 4.2 noma kamuva kulo Mashi. Noma kunjalo, i-NowSecure ithi iphutha lisekhona, futhi u-Welton ukubonise eNgqungqutheleni Yezokuphepha yaseLondon kuma-smartphones. Galaxy I-S6 evela ku-Verizon futhi ngaleyo ndlela yaphinde yadonsela ukunaka kwayo.
U-Andrew Hoog we-NowSecure ukholelwa ukuthi iphutha lingasetshenziselwa ukhiye kanye namadivayisi akamuva nje Galaxy Inothi 3, Inothi 4, Galaxy S3, S4, S5 njalonjalo Galaxy I-S6 ne-S6 onqenqemeni. Kuhle ukucabanga ngakho, ngoba i-Welton ithi noma ngabe umsebenzisi akayisebenzisi ikhibhodi ye-Samsung, kusenengozi yokuthi idatha ebucayi isetshenziswe kabi futhi yebiwe ngoba ikhibhodi ayikwazi ukukhishwa.
Kuze kube yilapho i-Samsung ikhipha ukulungiswa okusemthethweni, u-Welton uncoma abanikazi bama-smartphone Galaxy uqaphele kakhulu uma uwasebenzisa kumanethiwekhi e-WiFi avulekile angawazi ukuze anciphise ithuba lokuhlaselwa. Umuntu ongase abe umgebengu we-inthanethi kufanele abe kunethiwekhi efanayo nomsebenzisi we-smartphone ukuze antshontshe idatha. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwesilawuli kude kungenzeka kuphela ngokubamba iseva ye-DNS engaqukatha idatha evela kumzila okude, ngenhlanhla akulula futhi.
AbakwaSamsung abazange baphawule ngesimo samanje.
