Last Month, Google launched it's new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, with beefed up features, especially in the camera sector for outstanding photos and videos.
Earlier this month at a security conference, Adrian Ludwig, the director of Android security at Google, Claimed that the Pixels are as secure as iPhones.
"For almost all threat models [the Pixels and iPhone] are nearly identical in terms of their platform-level capabilities," Ludwig said.
Actually his claims where ridiculed by a group of Chinese white hat hackers who managed to hack a Pixel in 60 seconds at the PwnFest hacking competition that took place in Seoul.
The hackers, who work at Qihoo 360, a security solutions company, won $120,000 in cash after demonstrating an exploit that cracked open the Android and gave them full remote access to personal information such as messages, phone calls, contacts and photos.
Google is now reportedly patching the exploit to restore the Pixel's acclaimed glory of a top notch security phone.
This is funny.

LoL! Well, lets see if the patch will really justify the acclaimed new security system in Pixel.
