A potentially crippling security flaw has been discovered on a variety of Samsung smartphones.

Taking advantage of the flaw, a hacker is able to access a phone’s camera, microphone and GPS; listen in on a person’s phone conversations and read their text messages; and access information like personal contacts and photos.

According to NowSecure, the company that discovered the flaw, the problem stems from the fact that the process used to update the keyboard software on a Samsung phone can be hijacked by a hacker.
