The amount of intelligence services that could pull this off if you ordered iphones directly from apple is very very low.
- pvaldes 2y agoA man in the middle redirecting to a fake web page could be enough to create an opportunity. I assume that in some countries hacking the internet could be still possible. Or a terrorist could sell phones on the street for months, use them as sleeping devices, and wait until a big holiday or the super-bowl to spread chaos massively with minimum risk for him/her. So now we everybody need a way to be able to scan our devices and detect that risk ASAP. The Mossad still don't understand the mess that had created for every westerner by opening this door.
- echoangle 2y agoHow would you man in the middle a website or “hack the internet”? Every modern browser uses TLS.
- pvaldes 2y agoI wouldn't, but I assume that somebody with knowledge and motivation could. Phishing is still a problem. Do every country use modern browsers? (UPDATED: I really wrote Fishing? LOL)
