You just pwned yourself. - Forced Updates? The FBI takes over the update server, forcibly sends out an update that sends all messages to the FBI immediately, and there's no way to stop it. That suggestion is idiotic. Or even better, install Pegasus on all the phones, have them be quietly reporting back to home for a few weeks, with journalists having no way to prevent updating. - You forgot Hardware Root of Trust and Secure Enclave, like on an iPhone. Otherwise, the FBI can install a tool which just guesses PINs over and over while resetting the PIN attempts counter. It is not possible to build this protection in software only. You need chip-level hardware, and only iPhones in Fall 2020 and later have the Enclave set up to block repeated PIN attempts even if Apple-signed code is loaded. No other phone is safe from their own manufacturer like that. |
