All federal employees are advised to update their Pixel phones by July 4th, or they must 'discontinue use of the product.”
As originally reported by Forbes , due to a high-severity vulnerability, Google has warned federal employees to update their Pixel devices before 4th July, or else they should stop using the device. This warning—CVE-2024-32896—is a part of the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog managed by CISA . While Google has not discussed this exploit in detail, the U.S. government has clarified that this is a high-level firmware vulnerability and users should take action ASAP.
GrapheneOS took it to X and explained that this is the second part of the fix for another vulnerability reported in April, which is “actively being exploited in the wild by forensic companies.” What’s concerning is that GrapheneOS also adds that “none of this is actually Pixel specific.” According to Forbes, “It’s fixed on Pixels with the June update and will be fixed on other Android devices when they eventually update to Android 15.
