Like the article said, this is particularly bad considering how much they hyped up this feature. I first heard about it through MKBHD’s YouTube channel, in a video with almost 3M views. And they couldn’t even bother to validate that basic security measures had been implemented? Or maybe they just flat out didn’t care and thought nobody would notice, which might be even worse. I viewed Nothing as just an overhyped “Android phone but with lights on the back” but this has shown they’re a bit worse than that.

Just regarding the MKBDH video, he does explicitly call out the security issues inherent with the design at around 5:53, and credits it as a reason not to try this feature. So, yeah, it's wild that they considered this ready to ship.
