Google confirms the advanced protection against Android pirates.
Update, July 11, 2025: This story, initially published on July 9, has been updated with the details of another new set of security defense, in addition to the advanced Chrome protection, which will help Android users on Google to fight against the threat of smartphone smartphone.
Google security updates are not exactly broken down: Chrome browser vulnerabilities, checking the shippingman of Google messages and, of course, new Gmail features in the running for your attention. Sometimes, however, there is a danger of drowning in updates that leads to the most important of them potentially unnoticed. Google has just published a publication to ensure that this does not happen with the latest protections for Android users against hacking attacks. And rightly, because it is not easy to protect more than 3 billion users, with several risk profiles in this user base, pirates. As Google said, “attacks less sophisticated by malicious goods of goods can be very lucrative for attackers when they are carried out on a large scale, but the same goes for sophisticated attacks against targeted users.” Allow me, or rather Google, you present two new sets of defense features that will help you protect yourself, you and your smartphone, from the pirate threat. The first is advanced protection, which does exactly what it says on the tin, allowing you to adapt your safety protections to adapt to your personal risk profiles. Second, we have a whole new system of system services which will allow you to better manage updates and, in doing so, close another threat window before the attackers can pass. Here’s what you need to know.
Google confirms advanced safety protection in Chrome on Android
You might be forgiven to think that the only threat you need to worry about as an Android smartphone user is SMS, because attacks are the rise and hackers who use new movable SMS material weapons. However, you would be very wrong. Smartphone hackers have a diverse range of attacks to choose, each targeting a different group of victims and employing a different methodology. Some of the most commonly used have been recovered by David Adrian, Javier Castro and Peter Kotwicz from the Google Chrome safety team in a July 8 Publication.
Advanced Protection acts as an extension of the existing advanced protection program from Google, providing a safety parameter at the device for Android users most at risk. Consider it as a “unique control point for risk users on Android which allows important security parameters on applications,” said Google. This fits into Chrome on Android, the trio of safety experts explained, in three specific ways:
- By allowing the parameter always use secure connections to protect users from hackers who inject malicious content or reading data.
- By allowing complete insulation of the site, as long as your Android device has at least 4 GB of RAM, to avoid loading malware in the same process as legitimate websites.
- By reducing the attack surface by deactivating JavaScript optimizations.
“We also recommend users at risk of joining the advanced protection program with their Google accounts,” said the Google Chrome safety team, “which will require the account to use multi-cost-effective phishing-resistant methods and allow advanced protection on one of the User’s Android devices.”
Google introduces system services for most Android users
The second update that arrives at most Android users, by which I mean those who execute Android 6 or later, is something called System services settings. This new page will allow Android users to manage the background services that help protect the devices. Although these services are, by their nature, everything except invisible to the user, simply because they are in the background do not devalue their criticality in terms of smartphones safety. These are the processes that guarantee that the heart rate of your Android device is updated with the latest security updates. The System System System Service Settings page, which you can consider as a control center for background services, lists services and will make update more efficient and more efficient. They will no longer need specific and separate downloads of game stores; In fact, they will update even if the automatic downloads of the play stores are disabled.
The parameter page of the new system services should arrive with the July Google System Services update, while Advanced Protection is available on Google Android 16 in the 137 version of Chrome and later.
