The Galaxy S4 for businesses are they safe? According to some researchers, this is actually far from the case and terminal expose users to serious risks.

Just when Samsung would love to collect a bunch of companies previously assigned to the Canadian BlackBerry, researchers from Ben-Gurion University (Israel) may well cause him some trouble. After turning the famous Galaxy S4 of the firm in every way, scientists would eventually reveal a flaw importance in the solution of the Korean manufacturer Knox.

Aimed exclusively the professional world, Knox separates the data from the same device, so that a user can have a personal space as much as access to its corporate data. Problem, Israeli researchers have found a way to inject malware in the GS4, then recover emails and other text messages. Worse, an infected device could even spread to other terminals within a secure network yet.

Dudu Mimran, technical manager at Ben-Gurion University, this flaw poses a threat to be taken seriously for all smartphones based on this architecture. The research has even rated the vulnerability at the highest level possible danger in the hierarchy of the institution. According to Samsung, the problem is not yet affirmed as serious and the manufacturer claims that Knox remains perfectly safe. When the Department of Defense tested hundreds of Galaxy S4 for possible deployment, it is probably better not to plant.
