Google Pixel Facing 'Serious Security Vulnerability' Prompting Urgent Federal Employee Update Mandate

Reported 8 months ago

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a severe warning to federal employees using Google Pixel phones, requiring them to complete device updates by July 4th or immediately cease use. The warning applies to all government agencies, with Forbes reporting that Google's June update fixed up to 50 security vulnerabilities, including one labeled as 'highly critical' with the ID 'CVE-2024-32896.' Google indicated this vulnerability may have been exploited by malicious actors for targeted attacks. The US government has listed this warning for federal employees under CISA's 'known exploited vulnerabilities' list, cautioning that all Pixel users and potentially all Android devices are at risk, with other Android devices needing to wait for the Android 15 system for repairs.
