If you believe Apple's marketing that iPhones are unhackable, I have a bridge to sell you.
Why would someone burn a device level exploit for $5k when you could sell the exploit for 10x or even 100x more? Sounds like an easy way to burn your exploit after using it a few times to get electronics off Amazon.

"If this specific config value is being set by Service A then what is actually written should be twice the given value, but if Service B is reading the value, return 1/3 of…
I think something more accurate is
> TMobile getting hacked is a 'how many times', not a when
But adjust further...
> All cell providers getting hacked is a 'how many times', not a 'which'

There must be something especially lucrative about GoPros as stolen devices. I’ve heard multiple independent stories from a few friends in Law Enforcement about cases involving trafficking of large quantities of stolen GoPros (obtained via methods not unlike what happened to you). Interesting you mention NYC - at least one of these cases involved a very high volume fencing syndicate operating as a legitimate storefro…
If you go on ebay, you can find tons of shady gopro listings. They'll have all the original packaging and put it up as a "pre-owned" unit, but then you open the listing and they have 20 of them for sale. We also had a local hotel/waterpark that was running a burglary/fencing operation in the mid aughts. The room cleaners would look for gopros, iphones and other electronics. If they found anything, they'd take it and…
If you're the victim of a crime, you should do the police report yourself - also for things like insurance claims.

#327This follows on the unpopular news story that T-Mobile will be requiring you to give them your debit card or bank account information to continue to qualify for their Autopay discount. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/t-mobile-is-dropping-its-au...
How would you do autopay without giving them either a credit card or bank wire info? Seems at least one of those is required.

What is "Google prompt" here?
It’s a notification pop-up the Google mobile app can send, asking for login confirmation.

This is why you don’t use sms as 2FA. And use iOS. We’re you using android?
