Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections.

I really wish these articles just tell us what these scenarios are. I understand companies need publicity or need to sell software but if it isn’t replicatable and the article says “might be possible” it kind of sounds like a secuity sales pitch.

This is especially the case if an attacker already has root access, planted malware, or pushed a malicious update on the device that opens up low-level access.

This part basically sounds more like a software issue where the attacker has a way in already. The system is already vulernable at this point before using the exploit found.

I don’t think there’s enough information out yet.

It is very interesting though.

The company would have 20 days to comply with Brazil’s antitrust legislation, otherwise it would be fined more than $40,000 a day.

Apple would rather pay the $14.6 to $14.64 million per year.

I use F-droid. I don’t check hash keys but having that kind reassurance is definitely better than trusting F-droid blindly.

I have had issues F-droid uploads before.

So Accrescent has only a limited number of apps and only installs on Android 10 and up.

If you want something with less limits, you can use Obtanium with AppVerifier, or APKMirror, which also has the hash keys available.

Mullvad no longer has port forwarding.

Also interesting that they don’t add Flac in the supported files for the iPods but mention RockBox.

Reading the title and looking at the thumbnail, I was thinking, “sure I’ll do a good deed and help out a noob.” Then I read your post and I realized you know what you’re doing better than me.

Email is message exchange with a person or group of people. They can reply at any time.

IRC is a chatroom. You go to it when you want to chat. A lot of software have support channels. You probably don’t know most of these people. Unless you are saving them somehow, you don’t have a history of the chat room.

I’ve never used Matrix but it’s a instant messaging protocol that allows voice and video.
