If you are an Android user, regardless of your hardware vendor of choice, then pay particular attention to getting the 36 vulnerability-fixing May security update installed as soon as possible. Why the concern? A high-severity vulnerability that was disclosed way back in January and perhaps unsurprisingly is being exploited in the wild, has now been fixed. It's a Linux kernel vulnerability given the name 'Dirty Pipe' by the researcher who uncovered it. Actually, us boring and nerdy security types more formally refer to it as CVE-2022-0847.

I will eventually migrate to iPhone, I am somewhat tired of Android experience and how security is treated by manufacturers.

one of the best things about pixel devices is first to get these monthly updates, had already auto updated last week here.
Samsung are actually releasing monthly updates before the Pixel at the minute. May update came end of April!

I've had A12 since backend of last year. Updates roll out each month no issues.
