Isn't the pixel the phone that was just pwned inside 60 seconds by security researchers?
And doesn't google have a terrible track record of releasing data to federal agencies?
So, aside from purchasing a phone that is built by data-mining, internet advertising giant, google can't even begin to make the claim that they value user security.
- staticassertion 10y ago"pwned in 60 seconds" is a hugely misleading statement. Every time there's a hacking competition you see "Chrome, Firefox, IE fall in seconds" - ignoring the weeks or months that it takes to find the vulnerabilities and develop exploits for them.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIt's not misleading, the issue is that your actual phone could be actually compromised in 60 seconds time, not some giant period of guessing and trying or cracking a complicated crypto scheme. The research time isn't material to the severity of the threat at the time of attack.
- staticassertion 10y agoThe vast majority of exploits of that nature take less than 60 seconds. It is nothing at all interesting or special or rare that it took < 60 seconds. Just clickbait, like every year when pwn2own rolls around.
