On the other hand, China is known to have and use ios zero days (souce: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/09/massive_iphone_.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/09/massive_iphon...). It's likely other countries have these as well.
It seems unlikely they put the same efforts into finding a zero day for a nokia. There might be a super easy to find zero-day though, like you're saying.
- xenospn 7y agoI would argue that it’s much more likely they’d try to get a person of interest to use a compromised “burner” phone, actually.
- BoorishBears 7y agoIf it's anything like the old days, they don't need to horde a 0 day. There were always obscure pieces of software that would pull your forgotten pin right off the device with the right secret code, in which case you have full access to the device. I'd also expect them to be vulnerable to much simpler attacks like just reading flash chips directly
