Certain Samsung phones are susceptible to a new security hack that involves phones with certain chipsets. Here's are the phones and smartwatches affected.
Samsung Semiconductor has confirmed that certain Samsung phones and others are vulnerable to a “privilege escalation” hack identified earlier this year by Google security researchers. This issue concerns older devices with the Exynos 9820, 9825, 980, 990, 850, and W920 chipsets.

According to Cynet, privilege escalation is a network attack that seeks unauthorized higher-level access within a security system. It starts with attackers exploiting vulnerabilities to enter a system with limited permissions and then escalating their access to control sensitive systems or data.
