#2Really should think about just paying another few hundred bucks and just keep the device if it contains nude photos of your wife which you cannot wipe. Don't send that device anywhere...
Provided this story is true, I would guess the device might never have reached Google and it might have been stolen on the way there. Don't know what that would mean for liability.

#3The apocryphal 'they'. Not knowing who that is, there is no story. Could have been the guy himself; the mailman; somebody in the mail room at Google; somebody where the device was mis-delivered. Could even be the wife, indulging an exhibitionist urge. Who knows.

#4I'm sick of people, so I'm not going to read the inevitable comments that are going to come. Look, face it, some people like taking nude photos of themselves and they like sharing them with their partners. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It's not their fault if something like this happens. People should be able to feel secure in the tech that they use, in the companies that they entrust their information with. It's a fuckload of bullshit victim blaming and I see it every time the topic comes up. I'm sick of it.

Seriously? You're blaming the victim?

Per the link: "The last ping from the old phone (which was today) was the same as the place we shipped it. The exact location down to the very building."
The phone was successfully RMA'ed a month ago, which presumably would include Google confirming possession.

It’s not the victim’s fault. But still… it’s only prudent to take precautions.

#8There are a lot of leaked nude selfies on the net 0 like a lot. It makes me wonder how many we were leaked the same way these were.

#9I’ve taken my iPhone to a couple of repair shops. They always ask for the pin code and I always refuse and say it’s a work phone. Very much hoping the secure enclave works and my data has not left the phone.

#10Not here to victim blame, but just point out some things to help others in the future.
1. Use a password and encryption 2. If you can still turn on the device, wipe it before you send it off for an RMA. 3. If you can't access the device, login to your account online and remove access to it. You should do this even after you wipe it. 4. Save everything sensitive on removable storage medium by default.
