Android it is definitely one of the operating systems that improve year after year, including in terms of protection. However, like any OS, aj Android it has its bugs that computer experts can exploit and use for nefarious purposes. Computer scientist and blogger Szymon Sidor discovered a hole in the system that allows a hacker to take photos and videos without your knowledge. There have been applications for a long time that try to take a picture without the user's knowledge, but they are not as inconspicuous as this latest one. Until now, these applications required the screen to be on and the user can see them among the open applications.
However, Szymon managed to program the application in such a way that it completely surpassed all previous "spying" applications. It doesn't even need the screen on and isn't even visible. He achieved this by programming an application that is exactly 1×1 pixel in size, which means that it always runs in the foreground and this allows taking pictures even while the screen is locked. You won't even notice that one pixel, because there are 455 of them per inch! Everything is connected to a private server, which means that a hacker can look at the photos right after they are taken. However, it is clear that Google is already familiar with this error and it is very likely that we will see a fix for this dangerous hole in the system.
