The company that sells Gigaset Android smartphones has advised that it has taken measures to automatically rid devices infected with malware that was reported to have been introduced in a supply chain attack.
A spokesperson from Gigaset — formerly known as Siemens Home and Office Communications Devices — told
iTWire: "In order for this [automated fixing] to happen the devices must be connected to the Internet (WLAN, Wi-Fi or mobile data). We also recommend connecting the devices to their chargers. Affected devices should automatically be freed from the malware within eight hours."
