Replicant Developers Find Backdoor In Android Samsung Galaxy Devices

Developers working on Replicant OS, a free and open-source spin of Google’s Android operating system, have claimed to uncover a backdoor into the device’s file-system for several Samsung Galaxy mobile devices using the stock Android image.

Replicant developers found a back-door to be present in “most proprietary Android systems running on the affected Samsung Galaxy devices, including the ones that are shipped with the devices.”
