> If your phone is broken that may not be an option. Definitely true, this is something that companies responsible for handling private data need to be more vigilant at. Whether that be finding a means to restrict access to that data (which Apple should be doing), training and supervision, restricted access to internet, or whatever, there's definitely more preventative measures that should be taken to ensure that this doesn't happen. > The victim isn't responsible for the crime committed against them, as shown by this verdict. No one is claiming that a victim is responsible for the crime committed against them, just that there are strategies to mitigate risk. You should prepare yourself for how things are, not how they should be. > It is common because it is under-prosecuted. Hopefully we can see changes there. It's hard to say how common it is, but ultimately it's a crime of opportunity. Maybe they need to stick the workers in a faraday cage so they can't connect the phones to the cell network or wifi.
