> you're not breaking those keys. It hasn't been broken on a PS5, on an Xbox One, on an iPhone, on the vast majority of Android phones.

Because NSO/Mossad has a different way to get into these phones. When finding software exploits will no longer be viable, we might see some new interesting attacks..

The different way is called a hammer and your hands. They don't have magic tools to break encryption.

We're barely finding out software ways to attack the Xbox360 and it requires rowhammer level of fuckery. Hardware attacks are in the vast majority of cases destructive or relying on some side effects. If you don't leave JTAG pins on your board, they're pretty much never reliable.

I think you're not up to date regarding what NSO/Cellebrite can do.. "different way" might mean exploits or even other more "humint" methods.

But these companies/agencies don't care about gaming though, so it's not relevant to cheating..
