Do you really think there aren't backdoors in US made phones?
- awakeasleep 15y agoDo you know how to find out more about this? I remember reading about how some Mafioso case in the early 00's included evidence recorded over a Nokia when it was supposedly off. It seems like modern devices would have similar capabilities, but I don't know of any place to learn about it. Shouldn't an employee of Apple or Google or Motorola have leaked the deets somewhere? Shouldn't there be a site catering to the hacker demographic listing, at the very least, court cases that use interesting information?
- grandalf 15y agoWell one "back door" is that companies (Google, AT&T, etc.) log large amounts of info about your phone's usage, including GPS coordinates, etc., which are only a warrant (often an automated one) away from being obtained by authorities.

- vetinari 15y agoI don't want to spoil your day, but do you realize that you have no idea, what runs on the broadband core of your HTC (Samsung, Motorola, whatever) phone? That's the core that boots first and then loads SPL on your application processor.
