40 percent of Androids worldwide are at risk. This has been recently reported by Google. According to the information of the new report of the tech giant company, there is no important security patch for the software that is being used in the Android of 100 million users around the world! As a result, they are easily vulnerable to malware and spyware attacks.

Since last year, Google has officially stopped security support for Android 12 and all previous versions. According to new data, only 58% of active devices are running Android 13 or later. The latest version Android 16 is currently on only 7.5% of phones. It is true that the number of users of Android 14 and 15 is much higher. But billions of users are still using the old version. And that raises the concern.

The software used by 100 million Android users around the world does not have any important security patches! As a result, they are easily vulnerable to malware and spyware attacks.

Older versions of phones can easily become ‘victims’ for cybercriminals, security experts warn. As there is no official patch, the phone can be easily hacked or banking information stolen without contacting the user. In this situation, Google advises those whose devices are not updated or at least those who are not using Android 13, to change the phone as soon as possible. Also warned about ‘background’ spyware. That said, all these spywares silently read private messages. Also knows all the information to financial transactions from the phone. So there is no way but to be careful. Experts recommend turning on automatic updates to keep your phone safe. Hackers continue to dominate all over the world. There is no doubt that using Android without updated software in this situation is a bigger risk. So immediate alert is needed. Google’s recent message made that clear again.
