Samsung has introduced a new Message Guard security feature for its Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets that can better protect users against \u201czero-click\u201d cyberattacks disguised as image attachments in messages. Zero-click attacks \u2014 which install spyware and other malicious code onto devices without any interaction from the owner \u2014 have become increasingly common over the last few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the most notable examples of zero-click attacks was discovered by Citizen Lab in 2020<\/a>, after a known iOS \/ iMessage zero-click security flaw was exploited to install NSO\u2019s Pegasus spyware onto the phones of journalists, politicians, and activists between 2017 and 2020. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Zero-click attacks often leave little trace and victims may be completely unaware that their device has been compromised. In some cases, security measures like end-to-end encrypted messaging intended to protect users can actually make zero-click attacks even harder to detect<\/a> as the data being sent can only be viewed by the sender and receiver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
