A vulnerability in IOS voice commands and Android allow hackers access to any device. According to the National Security Agency Information Systems French (ANSSI), the gap would perform different tasks ranging from making calls to send malicious mail.
This procedure, which involves sending waves of silent remote radio through a headset and microphone, is capable of launching applications voice recognition Siri and Google Now and access other functions, according to research on remote command injection smartphones modern posted on the website of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a global partnership based in New York.
José Lopes Esteves and Chaouki Kasmi, authors of the paper and members ANSSI explain how electromagnetic interference could make headphones that are connected to a smartphone into a kind of antenna and establish a “door input for voice command injection “. Thus the hacker would be able to record conversations, make calls, send messages and access all mobile applications.
Although it is considered that the procedure is difficult to perform, requiring that the hacker is at least five meters away from the computer, we recommend keeping the option disabled voice command while the lock screen is active.
