Samsung has introduced a new security feature called Message Guard that protects users from malware and spyware via zero-click attacks. The solution pre-emptively secures users’ devices by limiting exposure to invisible threats disguised as image attachments, with the feature available on Samsung Messages and Google Messages, and currently limited to the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. Zero-click attacks exploit previously unknown flaws in software to trigger the execution of malicious code without requiring any user interaction, with Message Guard acting as a sandbox that’s designed to quarantine images received via the app from the rest of the operating system.
