Zero-click remote attack can crash Android phones

Original: Zero click, silent, remote Android DoS

A newly public technique shows how an Android device can be silently crashed remotely with no user interaction — no tap, no app install, no visible warning. The attack is described as a zero-click denial-of-service, meaning a targeted phone can freeze or reboot while its owner does nothing. The disclosure, circulating under the name SMS of Death, is drawing attention from mobile security researchers who are weighing how easy it is to run and how hard it may be for carriers to block.
