Silent updates are extremely dangerous. This is why you can see some Israelis, for example, refusing over-the-air updates on their phone while traveling.
- 6AA4FD 6y agoYou mean random Israeli citizens refuse OTA updates while abroad anywhere? Can you elaborate, I feel like I'm missing something important.
- lostcolony 6y agoCan't speak to the post, but, 'random Israeli citizens' likely are also "ex-military Israeli citizens" given the mandatory 2 year term for most of those who grow up there. So any OTA update concerns the military has are likely common social practice as well.
- 6AA4FD 6y agoI had forgotten about that. Thank you for the insight.
- AlexCoventry 6y agoDoes that mean the crypto used to authenticate the updates is compromised, or that the providers (app stores?) are? In either case, why is it safer in Israel?
- ip26 6y agoPerhaps a MITM attack by a foreign power.
