You're implying that car-theft would be equally as bad or worse than phone-theft. I'm not sure that's true for everyone. Further, stealing a car may be more difficult than stealing a phone.
- peterangular 4y agoThis. I'd rather my vehicle was stolen vs or damaged vs getting digitally compromised. The damage someone could cause with my phone vs. stealing my car is vastly different.
- chatmasta 4y agoHow insecure is your phone that someone can digitally compromise you without knowing the passcode? If you lock a modern iPhone, even the FBI will have trouble extracting any content from it.
- peterangular 4y agoHey - we're not going to see eye to eye on this one. Respectfully, I'm not going to to respond further. Cheers.
- chatmasta 4y agolol, ok. Keep an eye on your phone!

- tgsovlerkhgsel 4y agoFor years, phone forensics firms pretty much consistently had non-public exploits that would allow compromising even locked phones. As recently as 2019, Cellebrite publicly claimed that they can attack any iPhone with up to date software: https://www.wired.com/story/cellebrite-ufed-ios-12-iphone-hack-android/ https://www.wired.com/story/cellebrite-ufed-ios-12-iphone-ha... And those are publicly known capabilities. You should assume that potential adversaries will have more than that. Am I certain that such exploits are known for the very most recent iPhone/iOS? No. But it would still be foolish to bet on them not being known.
- Izkata 4y agoAlso low-tech exploits, like holding the screen at an angle to the light, to see finger smudges for the unlock pattern.
