Google says it fixed a lot of the security holes the CIA exploited

Google says Android and Chrome are now strong enough to defend against at least some of the vulnerabilities that the CIA may have exploited to carry out covert surveillance programs.

A cache of more than 8,000 documents released by WikiLeaks yesterday outlined how the CIA targeted Google’s Androidsmartphone operating system.

The leaked documents date back as far as 2013, and it’s unclear exactly when the security holes were patched.
