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.
I worked for TMobile for 4 days in 2021. I don't usually apply to big companies but money was tight because pandemic and I needed a job quick. I was assigned to work on the config server (think in-house developed consul or etcd) and it was awful. "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

I was a victim of this last October and November on a T-Mobile number.

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.

That's one way to reduce headhunting spam.
This 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.
