Weakness found in Samsung’s Knox

Knox knox, who’s there?

Ok, so Samsung in thinking about security for corporate users created “Knox”.  Knox was designed to beef up security for the Android OS for a more practical use in business environs.

It’s said that emails and data communication on Samsung devices running the Knox security software has been breached.  To make this worst, it’s believed that malicious code could possibly be inserted into the vulnerability found.

Of course Samsung has down played this hole in their software based on the grounds that the device which was tested did not have all of Knox’s’ security features installed.

With the Pentagon considering using Samsung devices, this could potentially be a huge lost for Samsung if the Government decided to go in a different direction.
