Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, ithimba le-Google lokuhlaziya ukuphepha kwe-Project Zero lishicilelwe informace mayelana nephutha ohlelweni lokusebenza Android, okuyinto, phakathi kwezinye izinto, esongela ukuphepha kwamamodeli we-Samsung Galaxy S7, S8 kanye Galaxy S9. Lokhu kube iphutha lezokuvikela, esimweni esidlulele, elingavumela ababengaba abahlaseli ukuthi balawule idivayisi ethintekile.
Amalungu ethimba le-Project Zero achaze isiphazamisi njengobungozi bezokuphepha obubucayi kakhulu, kodwa izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ukulungiswa kusendleleni - futhi kungenzeka ukuthi abanye benu sebevele bekulindele. Isiqephu sesofthiwe yezokuphepha sango-Okthoba samamodeli e-smartphone asengozini alungisa leli phutha elibi lokuvikela. Ama-smartphones e-Pixel 1 ne-Pixel 2, asevele athole isivikelo sokuvikela, awabonisi noma yikuphi ubungozi ngemva kokubuyekezwa, futhi impumelelo efanayo ilindeleke kuma-smartphones avela kwezinye izinhlobo. AbakwaSamsung sebevele bakhiphe isibuyekezo sezokuphepha sika-Okthoba samamodeli akhethiwe omugqa womkhiqizo Galaxy - okwamanje kufanele kube amamodeli Galaxy I-S10 5G, Galaxy A20e, Galaxy I-A50, Galaxy A30 a Galaxy I-J2 Core.
Kuyafaneleka ukuqaphela iqiniso lokuthi nakuba amamodeli angenhla - ngokuhlukile Galaxy I-S10 5G - ingeyeqembu lamamodeli abuyekezwa njalo ngekota, kodwa awekho kuwo asebikiwe ngokuba sengozini kwezokuphepha okushiwo. Ngokwemibiko evela ethimbeni le-Project Zero, kungahle kube sengozini yokuvikeleka uma uhlelo lokusebenza lufakwe emthonjeni ongathembekile, okungenzeka ngesiphequluli sewebhu. Ngokusho kuka-Project Zero's Maddie Stone, kunethuba elihle lokuthi ubungozi buvela ku-NSO Group, enomlando wokusabalalisa i-software enonya futhi eyayibhekelele inhloli ye-Pegasus eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Abasebenzisi bayelulekwa ukuthi balande izinhlelo zokusebenza kuphela emithonjeni eqinisekisiwe, noma basebenzise isiphequluli sewebhu ngaphandle kwe-Chrome.
