GOOGLE has fixed 33 security flaws in Android phones, including a dangerous trio that gives hackers complete control over devices. <\/p>\n

The tech giant is set to roll out the fixes in Android's upcoming update this month – which all users are urged to download as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three security flaws that have been marked as "critical" risk are what's known in the industry as a remote code execution vulnerability. <\/p>\n

This is\u00a0when an attacker can access and makes changes to a device remotely, no matter where the device is located – often thanks to malware they have lured people into downloading. <\/p>\n

A separate "high" risk flaw was also found to have been exploited by cyber crooks before Google became aware of it. <\/p>\n

Google said that this flaw, covertly titled CVE-2023-35674, "may be under limited, targeted exploitation."<\/p>\n
