If you also use a Xiaomi company phone, then you need to be alert, because the government's cybersecurity agency, CERT-In, has issued a warning for you. The warning has been issued after a critical security flaw was detected in Xiaomi's device. A security flaw has been detected in the Xiaomi Mi Connect App, and this threat has affected not only Xiaomi smartphones but also TVs and even laptops.
The security flaw detected in this app can affect millions of users of the company. Due to this security flaw, fraudsters can easily access your device and can also bypass security to target the handset. This issue has raised many big questions about the security of Xiaomi devices.
This advice was given to avoid it.
First of all, you have to find out whether the Xiaomi phone, tablet, or TV you have has the Mi Connect app version 3.1.895.10 or earlier. If your device has an old version, then you should immediately download the latest version of the app. You can update the app by going to the app settings.
There is no news of any user being affected due to this security flaw in India, but Xiaomi users have been advised to update the app immediately. If you do not take immediate action, then due to security risk, fraudsters can easily attack your device and take control. CERT issues warnings from time to time when security flaws are detected so that incidents like cyber attack can be avoided.
