Samsung monthly updates: February 2021 patch tackles MITM attacks
Samsung today published the complete changelog detailing the February 2021 security update which just started rolling out to the company’s Android smartphones earlier within the last few days. While last month’s security bulletin had a bit of everything, its follow-up appears to be largely oriented toward tackling various man-in-the-middle attacks.
The good news is that none of the newly resolved device hijacking vulnerabilities were rated as critical security flaws. Meaning Samsung doesn’t believe the said attack vectors were easy to exploit, so we can pretty safely rule out the likelihood that they’ve enabled any large-scale shenanigans.
