Hate to say it, but he doesn’t sound like much of a friend if he’s owned your phone and refuses to elaborate on how.

- BiteCode_dev 4y agoSounds like a good joke to be of either side on to me. No harm done.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoto me this is an unacceptable boundary to cross. I would never be able to trust someone that does that.
- zw123456 4y agoYeah, I sort of feel that way too but maybe also is a good lesson learned.
- enneff 4y agoWhat’s the lesson here? That software is insecure? Or that you shouldn’t trust your friends? Sad.
- zw123456 4y agoAll of the above, plus, maybe, don't let people see you put in your pin. don't take security for granted. Be careful. I guess the lesson I learned is you need to pay attention to security.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoIs it because the phone is very intimate to you, or because of the implications?
- sizzle 4y agobecause they could be viewing all their private communication/media on their device and that causes a lot of anxiety cause they won't confirm or deny if they have access.
- zw123456 4y agoUgh, yeah, if this was not someone I know, the pictures, yikes !
- hackernewds 4y agowhat pictures?
- amelius 4y agoIt's basically the equivalent of someone in the 80s tapping your phone line.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoRather someone in the 80 changing the numbers on your phone book so that you dial a wrong number.
- zw123456 4y agoI think he will fess up eventually, but is sort of being a dick about it for sure. I was hoping HN could give me ideas, but now he will probably read this on HN and then really give me a hard time about it.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoInstead of freaking out about it, it would be more fun to do a similar joke to him. What's fair is fair.
- zw123456 4y agoYeah, I sure want to, especially on April 1st. Maybe I should do and Ask HN, how do I get back at my dickhead friend on April fools day :)
