If they constructed and installed the locks, and a weakness in the locks appears to have been the entry point for the break in, then yeah maybe?
- scosman 2y agoAnd the locks can be remotely patched to remove the weakness... seems fair. Not the builder, but calling the lock maker for sure.
- exe34 2y agono, you call the police and your insurance company. the insurance company might enquire with the builders on who's at fault. hope that helps.
- illwrks 2y agoThere are weaknesses in everything around you. If apple were to be the owner of the issue then what’s to stop apple covering it up? It’s better for a third party to support, track and collate the issues and then for that knowledge to be addressed by Apple, or any other tech company. Apparently quantum computing is around a decade away, when that happens I’ve been told you can say goodbye to all privacy at that point.
- lupusreal 2y agoDamn builders used glass for my windows. Don't they know how easy that is to break?
- starkrights 2y agoEven if you do go to the builder, what are they going to tell you other than “yup. Lock got busted: here, here, and here, you should probably call the <people who investigate break ins for a living>”? I feel like the notification already does exactly that, no? “Hey, your phone looks busted, go call the <people who investigate sophisticated cyber surveillance targeting for a living>.” And from the angle of “yeah you guys installed the locks wrong and they just opened the door, you should fix that”- does anyone reject the idea that the vuln would get reported to Apple, and that they’d be on it like crazy?
