Snapdragon’s latest chip could help prevent spoofing and privacy invasion.
Per an article from PCMag, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip features anti-spoofing technology to help protect against Stingray and spoofing attacks:
Spoof cell sites can now be run on small, widely available boxes that pass bad data and phishing messages, Qualcomm said at its Snapdragon Summit today. Otherwise known as “Stingrays,” these faux cells can be run by criminals, law enforcement, or security agencies to collect your personal data without your permission.
In spite of past issues between Apple and Qualcomm, Apple is known to use assorted Qualcomm chips in its devices.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
