NEW: Hackers are exploiting a zero-day in 64 different Qualcomm chips to target Android users.
No details on this hacking campaign, but everything points to targeted attacks against civil society (journalists, dissidents) given that Google TAG and Amnesty are involved.
Qualcomm has released a patch but it's now up to Android phone makers to implement it and push it out to users, which could take a while.
