Wow! Everyone act surprised.

>Earlier this year, Forbesreportedhow a banking Trojan called Triada had been found on a bunch of brand new budget Android smartphones. Google has now confirmed that threat actors did, indeed, manage to compromise Android smartphones with the installation of a backdoor as part of a supply chain attack.
>literally who entry level devices filled with malware

> It's a classic supply chain attack. "Based on analysis," Siewierski continues, "we believe that a vendor using the name Yehuo or Blazefire infected the returned system image with Triada." A full list of the 42 budget model smartphones, mostly sold in China, can be found in this Bleeping Computer report from earlier this year.
>mostly sold in China
Any bets where this backdoor came from?

Not bothered.

>buy noname chinkshit
>get CHINKED
who would've thought

Only noname Chinese brands are affected:
> Leagoo, ARK, Zopo, UHANS, Doogee, Tecno, Homtom, Umi, Kiano, iLife, Mito, Vertex, myPhone, Advan, STF, Tesla, Cubot, EXTREME, Haier, Cherry, NOA, Perlitt, Prestigio, BQ

>Tesla

Cubot and BQ are pretty big here in Germany (at least on amazon), actually i used a Cubot H1 in 2015 and it was pretty comfy with an entry level chip, only hd resolution and 5ah battery it lasted for a whole week

only know mito and tesla

Leagoo
Doogee
Tesla
Haier
all can be found for sale on the balkan.
now i have to actually read the article since i find this very intriguing.

> It is unlikely that you will have been impacted by this backdoor, given that the devices concerned were value brands primarily sold in China.
> chinese infecting their own supply chain to target chinese
AHAHAHAHAH. those chongs never cease at being completely fucking retarded.

I've only used Prestigio out of that list because work required some tablet with HDMI out for presentations and they bought the cheapest one available at some local store. It was literal garbage, both HW and SW.

>Only noname Chinese brands are affected:
>goes on to NAME them

kek

I'm genuinly curious as to what the people shitting on android are using. Surely it can't be iphones, as those are an even bigger joke.
>in b4 dumbphone users

It's just gray market. Those brands have no real presence on your market, it's just some opportunistic company trying to resell them.

>supply chain hacks are real
>everyone still doubts the supermicro story

>I'm genuinly curious as to what the people shitting on android are using
I'm the OP and I use android. just because I use something doesn't mean I can't criticize it.

>ANDROID BACKDOOR CONFIRMED
>It's third parties installing backdoors after the fact

Jow Forums is nothing more than a tabloid chatroom at this point

>chatroom

Imagine not using a custom ROM or even buying a phone without custom ROMs. What google has in their services is no better than actual malware.

/thread

>custom ROM
another way of saying "gimping your phone"

*upgrading for free

most advanced features are lost when you ruin your phone with a custom rom

Name one.

The main function of a smartphone is to run applications. It's improved because you're always up to date and have more resources due to less bloat. Only zoomers care about bells and whistles.

>It's improved because you're always up to date
I already am because I don't buy noname autistic chinkshit

>So if you have Android 4.4.4 or some more recent version of this OS on your device, your chances of getting infected with Triada are significantly lower.
*YAAAWWWN*

Any proprietary hardware lol. If you don't manage to install their binary driver you are fucked. Sometimes it's "just" GPS or camera, other times it's WiFi and Bluetooth.

replicant, lineageos, android x86, tizen, blackberry, maemo/meego/mer/saiflish, or kaios

Google confirms water makes things wet

>Any proprietary hardware lol.
How the fuck do you lose proprietary hardware when you change the software on phone, what the fuck?
>If you don't manage to install their binary driver you are fucked. Sometimes it's "just" GPS or camera, other times it's WiFi and Bluetooth.
Just what in the actual fuck are you even talking about? These drivers are all bundled and there's no need to install them separately. Depending on a given device, you might have needed to flash specific fixes at one point, that's all.
Seems to me like you bought a phone without checking compatibility and XDA beforehand, and unsurprisingly had a bad experience.

So glad i have an iphone now

they all suck worse

>These drivers are all bundled and there's no need to install them separately.
Bundled by whom you autist? How are you going to bundle binary that just refuses to work on Linux 5.x but worked on 4.x? Even when you have a source, somebody has to rewrite that shit. Sounds like you know shit about it and all you even did with Android is install some ROM using tutorial, then pose like you know everything about it.

>implying
I heard of Leagoo and Doogee but /csg/ and /spg/ usually recc'd Xiaomi for chinkphones

"""advanced"""

Since the OP is shit, what is the best way to root galaxy s7?

This is why Xiaomi makes you wait 72hrs or longer to bootloader unlock.

cope more

>Sounds like you know shit about it and all you even did with Android is install some ROM using tutorial, then pose like you know everything about it.
Well, how do you install a ROM then genius other than flashing a zip?

How does the ROM get made if not by porting all the previous drivers for that hardware to a new version of Android (Linux) that may or may not work like intended you genius?

ROMs are no longer porting drivers, it's all in /vendor partition and MUST work on pure AOSP as Google now requires. For my Oneplus 5 for example that meant that custom ROMs now support the official camera application, with all the improved processing, slowmo, etc.

Nice clickbait journalism and not a backdoor as it's fixed
It;s just down to phone companies not being able to update their security from lack of intelligence

BQ is spanish retard

low IQ pajeet thread

sage

And it just happens they have an office in Shenzen, you know, the place from where all those shitty botnet phones come from.

5 eyes, easily.

yep

This is why u buy name brand anything. Pick a brand and stick with it. Dell and Motorola for me.

You can use GrapheneOS as a secure Android alternative that is still capable of running APKs. No bioluminescent CIA motherfuckers.

>In the current early stage of the project, GrapheneOS provides production releases for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL
huh.

>Motorola
>Lenovo

user I have some bad news...
