Google is launching 'Advanced Protection' mode in Android 16 to combat sophisticated spyware attacks. This enhanced security setting, activated with a single button, will bolster defenses against mercenary malware targeting high-profile individuals like journalists and politicians. The mode includes features like intrusion logging, USB protection, and insecure network auto-reconnect disabling, rolling out later this year. This aims to counter attacks exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities and stealing sensitive data.
