It was a false attestation of identity to his own device. Surely you can't be accused of hacking your own phone?

- mike00632 5y agoIt wasn't the device that was under attack but the communications between the app and server. Sure, there is an idea that everything your phone does ought to be known by its owner but that isn't how the phone or law is set up and the attacker had to find a security vulnerability to gain access.
- caf 5y agoI don't believe your assertion about how "the law is set up" is correct, if you mean to imply that altering the operation of code running on your device is proscribed. Where it falls foul of the law is when you start sending requests/commands to other people's servers in excess of your authorisation.
