These are the mobiles that are more likely to be hacked

A group of researchers have discovered a vulnerability in Snapdragon processors. This is a security flaw in Qualcomm's CPUs. This failure allows hackers to have full access to the smartphone. Although, this requires physical access to the terminal. But, it is a vulnerability that affects many popular mobiles.

These are the mobiles that are more likely to be hacked

The phones with Snapdragon have a Primary Boot System (PBL), which is responsible for starting Android. Although, there is also another system called EDL (Emergency Download Mode) that cannot be modified and has access and control over the storage of the terminal. That is where the danger lies.

Xiaomi or OnePlus phones can be hacked

There are very popular brands like Xiaomi or OnePlus that use this boot mode. Researchers Roee Hay and Noam Hadad of Alpeh Research are the ones who have discovered the vulnerabilities that EDL allows. In fact, they have managed to root some Xiaomi phones without losing data. As a reason for this news, XDA users have made a list.

In this list we find the phones affected by this vulnerability. There are phones of various brands. This is the full list:
