「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」 | (aka: 鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma)Does anyone else also have this weird feeling that maybe governments can already break into smartphones and this whole "we can't break into it" they tell the public is a facade?
slazer2auThere is no doubt govers hoard 0-day vulnerabilities. We saw that with the Shadow Brokers and Eternal Blue.
When a government says they can’t break into a system, what they are really saying is we don’t want to tell the court how we did this in order to establish the chain of custody for evidence also , we don’t want the vendor to fix it.
With all that said there are limits. Like being able to listen to your phone when it’s off, or turn it on remotely is just wrong
