Everyone with an Android phone put on red alert - check for update 'immediatley'
Android phone owners must make sure their devices are fully up to date. If your chosen phone is powered by Android then you'd be wise to head to your settings and check for the latest update without delay. It's been confirmed that a new patch has been released and, although it's as not critical as last months upgrade, users are being urged to install it without delay. 'Although the latest Android security bulletin does not list any vulnerabilities currently known to be under exploitation, we still strongly recommend that Android users update their devices immediately,' said Adam Boynton, Senior Security Strategy Manager EMEIA at security firm Jamf. 'The majority of the fixes are within the Android framework, which provides the foundation for building Android applications and is therefore an attractive target for cybercriminals. Exploiting the most severe vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain elevated access and administrative rights.' The most urgent upgrades from Google are ones that have been given the dreaded "zero day" rating. These flaws mean cyber crooks are aware of the glitch and are actively exploring it. Luckily that's not the case this month but Android users should still be on high alert and make sure their phones are fully updated. That's because anyone running older Android software versions is technically open to attack. There are four vulnerabilities located within the Android system component, caused by improper input validation,' Jamf's Boynton said. 'CVE-2025-26453, CVE-2025-26445, and CVE-2025-26441 could allow a local application to gain access to sensitive information, while exploitation of CVE-2025-26443 could allow a local application to execute arbitrary code. 'The release provides a window of opportunity to get ahead of cybercriminals; it appears that none of the vulnerabilities addressed in the June security bulletin have yet to be exploited in the wild, making this the perfect time to patch all supported devices.' Pixel phones will almost certainly get this latest patch first with the manufactures such as Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Xiaomi, Honor then following after. Android firms are getting better at supporting phones for longer, too. Samsung, Google and Honor all offer seven years of updates for many of their latest phones, though other companies are lagging behind. If you have quite an old Android phone, it may have stopped receiving free security updates - a reason for you to consider upgrading to a newer supported handset.

Android users urged to 'immediately' download new security update
As Android delivered an upgrade last month to help block hackers, it is important to keep on top of your phone's security. Google is urging everyone with an Android phone to make sure they have downloaded the latest software update to ensure their device is fully protected. This comes after the tech company released its monthly security bulletin. When it comes to updates for Android devices, Google Pixel phones generally get sent the alert first, meaning owners of these phones will be protected first if any glitches happen that could let hackers in. This happened last month as Google released security upgrades for their devices that fixed a major vulnerability in their software, reports the Express. This issue could have been easily exploited by hackers, which would have left many phone owners vulnerable to malicious attacks. While this is not the case this month, it is important to technology users to make sure that their devices are up to date with the latest upgrades to ward off any potential harm. Adam Boynton, senior security strategy manager EMEIA at security firm Jamf, said: "Although the latest Android security bulletin does not list any vulnerabilities currently known to be under exploitation, we still strongly recommend that Android users update their devices immediately. "The majority of the fixes are within the Android framework, which provides the foundation for building Android applications and is therefore an attractive target for cybercriminals. Exploiting the most severe vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain elevated access and administrative rights." While all the jargon around security updates for phones can be a bit confusing, essentially if you do not update your phone to the latest software and security, you will be more open to being attacked by cyber criminals. While Google releases the updates for free, it is up to the other Android manufacturers to inform their customers of the latest updates. Although it can sometimes take longer to push the updates to the latest devices, Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Honor, Xiaomi and other brands all have the means to update your phone. Thankfully, Android firms are getting better at supporting their phones for longer, with Google, Honor and Samsung all offering seven years of updates for their latest phones. However, not every company is meeting this standard. For those with an older Android phone, it may have already stopped receiving free security updates. If this applies to you and you are worried about your device being hacked, this may be a good motivator to upgrade your smartphone to a newer, shinier model. Boynton added: "There are four vulnerabilities located within the Android system component, caused by improper input validation. "CVE-2025-26453, CVE-2025-26445, and CVE-2025-26441 could allow a local application to gain access to sensitive information, while exploitation of CVE-2025-26443 could allow a local application to execute arbitrary code. "The release provides a window of opportunity to get ahead of cybercriminals; it appears that none of the vulnerabilities addressed in the June security bulletin have yet to be exploited in the wild, making this the perfect time to patch all supported devices." This means that Google was able to get ahead of cyber crooks by providing the June update. However, this will only work if users update their device - if they don't they are leaving themselves vulnerable to future hacks. While it is easier to set your phone to automatically update, phone users can check if they have an update pending by going to the Settings app and checking for system updates. If this new update is not there, keep checking throughout the month to heighten the security of your beloved device. However, if the update doesn't appear, this would suggest that your device is no longer compatible with free upgrades. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Android users placed on red alert - you must check your settings 'immediately'
A worrying new Android bug has been discovered and is already being used to target devices. Android phone users have been warned to make sure their settings are fully up to date, due to a worrying bug targeting them. The stark warning from security experts after the bug has been found hiding within this hugely popular operating system. Google has now fixed the error, but not before it was handed the dreaded zero-day stamp. That tag basically means the glitch has already been spotted by hackers and is being actively exploited in the wild. That's why it's so vital everyone makes a quick check without delay, reports the Mirror. Senior Security Strategy Manager EMEIA at firm Jamf, Adam Boynto said: 'The latest Android Security Bulletin contains a fix for an actively exploited vulnerability, CVE-2025-27363, therefore we advise all Android users to update their devices immediately." Google always releases monthly patches, which usually fix minor bugs and glitches. However, sometimes the problems are a little more serious and that's why it's vital all phone users make sure they keep on top of installing updates. 'The fixed bug is an out-of-bounds memory vulnerability in the FreeType software,' Jamf's Boynton explained. 'FreeType is a core component of Android devices because it renders fonts and is therefore an attractive target for cybercriminals. Exploiting the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain control of the entire system without requiring elevated privileges. 'Although this is a targeted attack, most likely targeting high-value individuals, we strongly recommend that all users update their Android OS. The bug has been exploited since March, and its zero-click nature means that criminals can exploit the vulnerability without the user even being aware.' Google usually rolls out its updates to Pixel devices first with other manufacturers such as Samsung, OnePlus and Honor following soon after the initial release. No matter what phone you have in your pocket. It's a good idea to head to the settings menu this week and make sure things are fully updated. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It comes as an urgent alert was issued to all Gmail users to be aware of a new and sophisticated scam that could compromise their personal data. Last month, an alarming rise in attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information was recorded as hackers target users. Security experts from Malwarebytes have now stepped in with their warning about this menacing online threat from cybercriminals who are exploiting Google's infrastructure, crafting emails that convincingly seem to be sent directly from the tech firm. The aim of these online crooks is to trick people into divulging their Google account credentials. Users are urged to exercise caution when checking their email accounts to avoid being deceived.
