GrapheneOSAndroid 16 QPR2 experimental releases will be available soon. We're dealing with a lot of attacks on the project branching off from the smear campaign in France. We'd appreciate if our community would debunk this nonsense across platforms for us so we can focus on QPR2. Thanks.
ElliasIf you see the fake story about someone claiming to be charged with premeditated murder because GrapheneOS supposedly didn't protect their data, see https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1997126386968903972 for a thorough debunking. Their story keeps changing and clearly isn't real. They may be a career criminal but this is fake.

mattig89ch@GrapheneOS And here I thought they were just stupid. Thanks for the heads up!
diss@GrapheneOS it is obviously a troll. their username starts with b8r. which is baiter. and they hired those people to read scripts
@dissoc Look at their Telegram channel. It's not a brand new identity or account. It has a long history prior to this of bragging about scamming people and recruiting people to it. If the whole thing is fake then they've been doing a really long operation to harm us. It doesn't fit with how flimsy and inconsistent their claims are. They're gradually changing their story to try to find a way to attack GrapheneOS which people would believe such as changing their duress PIN story.
@dissoc The overall voting on the /r/degoogle subreddit shows the overall community fell for it despite the comments being filled with people debunking it. If it had more downvotes than upvotes, it would be at 0 instead of a highly scored post relatively to other recent posts. People do fall for this and it does harm us.
They do seem like they're likely a criminal but serially fabricate things to make themselves seem like a big deal stealing a lot of money and supposedly murdering people.
Nestor O. Carnota@GrapheneOS Recommended for the weekend the documentary "Orwell 2 + 2 = 5" to understand how this issue of mass lies works...
sarcastictoast@GrapheneOS I've read the "murder" "grapheneos failed" story. Is my understanding, based on OP posts, correct? Do they imply they conducted a crime, have evidence on phone and fled? Unless I'm missing something and my understanding is off, OP keeps shooting themselves in their knees and is also being very open about it.
@sarcastictoast He says he was charged with murder, jailed for 7 months and then released due to lack of evidence. He claims that somehow a GrapheneOS phone he turned over to them later on is to blame for them raising the charges to premeditated murder and going after him more than before. The timeline and many details do not make sense. What he says the police and his lawyer did / said does not make sense. He's quite clearly embellishing it and changing around the story as he goes to attack us.
@sarcastictoast He does appear to be an actual career criminal from his presence on Telegram where he publicly boasts about scamming people and stealing their life savings from cryptocurrency wallets and bank accounts. He appears to be lying about his level of success and trying to make himself seem like a big deal. Perhaps he's pretending to have been charged with murder as part of this exaggerated image. He seems to want to harm us for unclear reasons, trying to find the right lies to do that.
@sarcastictoast If you read through a lot of his posts from oldest to newest, you'll see his story substantially changed including about his usage of the duress PIN. He also initially wasn't very familiar with a lot of aspects of this and with GrapheneOS but has now done a fair bit of research and is changing history. We think he switched over to using AI for a lot of it. Compare those videos he paid to have made attacking us which he posted on his timeline to some of the recent stuff.
TheZorseI love Graphene and have no suspicions as to its security. But aside from that, all I can think about this guy's story is: if you were charged for a murder you committed, the cause of your predicament is the murder you committed, not your phone's OS.
ṫẎℭỚ◎ᾔ ṫ◎ℳ@GrapheneOS If you're charged with premeditated murder🗡️ The least of your worries is attacking GOS🤔
Okuna@GrapheneOS make something idiot proof and nature will create a better idiot. I cannot believe, if someone followed what he said, one would believe it.
MajoraVim@GrapheneOS Oh no I murdered someone and got tackled while my private space was opened and completely unlocked on my owner profile with adb enabled. I can't believe grapheneos didn't defend against my super weak opsec and poor life choices. LMAO, @GrapheneOS this loser doesn't even deserve your attention.
halfredgreenapple@GrapheneOS Genuine doubt: How does GrapheneOS try to protect OS users from HNDL attacks? Other case is If the memory chip is removed, it will no longer have the protection support of the Titan M2.
@halfredgreenapple Read https://grapheneos.org/faq#encryption which explains how disk encryption is implemented. Copying the fully encrypted data from the data partition does not bypass anything. It's encrypted with randomly generated keys which are themselves encrypted with key encryption keys derived from the lock methods for each profile. Hardware-based key derivation ties it to the SoC and there's per-profile throttling by the secure element requiring the correct lock method to fetch a necessary token.
@halfredgreenapple If you use a random 6 digit PIN, that's secured based on the secure element having extremely aggressively throttling. On the currently supported devices, it's now more aggressive at ramping up delays than what we have documented there where it took 140 failed attempts to reach 24 hour delays between each attempt. It now ramps up even faster than that. If you use a strong passphrase then you don't depend on hardware-based security but it's still helping anyway.
