A new security flaw has been found in 60% of Android on the market.

This security flaw allows hackers to very easily gain access to device data and has been identified in older versions, specifically in WebView , which allows applications to "view" online content.

Google, for its part, does not intend to fix the problem since, as it announced, it concerns old versions of the operating system and to fix it, changes will need to be made to 5 million lines of code, causing even greater security problems

The only solution suggested by Google is for users to use Chrome or Firefox on their device to browse the internet, because they are up to date and do not use WebView.
