It was recently discovered that the Pixel 6 series and certain Galaxy S22 devices running Exynos modems are vulnerable to a malicious attack. To combat this, users can turn off Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE. Here’s how to turn off Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE on your Pixel 6 or Galaxy S22.
As reported by Google’s Project Zero, certain Exynos modems are susceptible to remote attacks with next to no user interaction. Simply put, if an attacker were to have your phone number, they could theoretically execute an attack on your device with absolutely no input from the user.
Since this vulnerability requires that certain 5G features be turned on, the best way to ensure a device isn’t vulnerable is by disabling those features entirely. At the time of writing, Google has pushed a fix through the March 2023 security patch. Unfortunately, that patch has only made its way to the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, leaving the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro still vulnerable.
