Amnesty International told TechCrunch it would release more information about the exploit soon.
The exploit may have impacted millions of phones across the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Those Qualcomm chips can also be found in Xiamoi, Realme, Vivo, and ZTE phones.
The only thing left to do is wait to see how these phones could have been exploited.
