Being faithful to this announcement, the company has been launching security updates to the only terminal that has the BlackBerry Priv on the market, a terminal that has just received an update solving the security problem dubbed Quadrooter.

This security flaw offers four vulnerabilities that can be a sneak so that any application with malicious intent can infect our terminal. In this update, the company has managed to solve three of these four, leaving the solution to the latest vulnerability for the September update.
