Google has a new breakthrough to show why Android is better than iOS devices

Per BleepingComputer (opens in new tab), the tech giant is starting to take notice of the fact that, “over the last decade”, firmware vulnerabilities on secondary processors have been become high-priority targets for security researchers and academic papers in the field of computer science.
