"Most customers opt to wait until the package arrives before they ask for the pictures."
Seems backwards. Photos ought to precede shipping. Sending the photos once the device is in hand makes it much easier for fake photos to be injected. With GPG signing and such it would still be nontrivial, but much easier. Am I missing something?
- foobarbecue 4y agoI guess the idea is that if the pictures are sent too early, the pictures could be intercepted, phone interdicted, and photos used to help workaround the anti-interdiction protection.
- tyilo 4y agoCouldn't they just take a picture of the phone themselves before tampering with the phone?
- foobarbecue 4y agoMaybe, but then they have to fake the context (camera, lighting, room) and be extremely careful not to accidentally give away clues about their operation.
- jffry 4y agoIf they wanted to balance these concerns they could always split the photo in half and send half before, half after.
