A vulnerability named GhostMap discovered by Bitdefender can render Android phones unusable simply by installing a malicious app. Users do not need to open the app for the issue to occur, leading to a continuous reboot cycle that prevents access to data. The flaw affects Android 10 and later versions, and typical recovery methods, including safe mode, fail to resolve the issue. Users may need to remove the problematic file using advanced tools or reset their devices to factory settings, risking data loss. Bitdefender has reported the issue to Google, but no fix has been released yet. Users are advised to avoid unknown APK sources and maintain regular backups.
