One-time access can be translated into persistent access. The phone needs to be connected to the computer via Bluetooth, but this’ll happen automatically whenever the phone is nearby, so the attack scenario is applicable to people who live together. Imagine, for example, that a roommate or spouse finds your phone unlocked while you’re out of the room - they set up Phone Link, and return the phone before you notice it’s gone. Thereafter, whenever your phone is near their computer, they’re getting a copy of all your messages.
