Yes, but the problem is memorizing multiple passwords not one. The majority of ppl is able to memorize a single complicated password.

Use a password manager instead.

Since you are pedantic. The answer yes is absolutely correct and not misleading. The question was “Has given a court order to reveal…” and not “Was revealed personal information 'cause of a court order”.

Not much information on the data. But still some critique of the data:

1. the source claims

“use ad blocking tools at least sometimes” so not all the time

2. It is only 16-64

Both of those metrics exclude lots of data for example, when you scroll down you see that yes a lot of ppl use ad blocker on the PC but not on phones or tablets. Also ppl below 16 have a very low usage rate also ppl above 64.

I think actually ad block usage by sites visited with and without ad blockers would be nice too.

But thank you for the link, guess ad blockers are indeed more popular than i thought.

Source?

Ad block users are already the minority.

Adblockers are a must have for protecting against mailware and phishing attacks. Google and other ad services have proven to be incompetent in protecting their service against those kind of attacks targeting users.

Obviously the USB port will not be usable after you blow the fuses in the SoC.

Actually worse than I thought.

So basically the USB is the point of entry? When you could permanently fuse the data connection in the SoC it would be a huge improvement in security. OFC you could only use the port for charging anymore.

How do you think encryption works?

What do you think does a lockscreen?

As i guessed. You are evading the question by again babbling nonsense and questioning my knowledge instead of actually proving anything you are saying.

You have shown that you have a bad understanding of what you are actually talking about (see the ‘cracked’ TPM discussion) and constantly shifting the discussion away from what you are saying : “Basically every device can be accessed without major problems” and what i am trying to explain to you.

You are acting in bad faith.

Bye

If you think TPMs are always encrypted, a key can be encrypted “with itself” and still be any use to you and android system pin is secure you are right. Might also believe in santa

Not sure what you are rambling about the TPM.

Then prove that the Lockscreen is insecure.

The device needs to be physically accessed and modified and then unlocked in order to exploit it.

Yes it is a vulnerability but with those steps you could also just solder a keylogger to the keyboard.

Similar outcome.

Isn’t it an open secret that powerful entities (like spying institutions) can get into pretty much every system if they have physical access? Why is this not plausible

You stated in your original comment: “pretty much every system”. So no, any modern phone if android or iOS is by default encrypted.

If the key for the encryption is on the device, and either stored in an unencrypted TPM or unencrypted storage, its not a matter if breaking the encryption (quite impossible) but breaking the software/hardware (quite possible for someone with good enough forensics and skilled programmers)

TPMs are by design encrypted.

Keys are not stored unencrypted at least not when you encrypt your storage with modern solutions and set it up reasonably. You use either your TPM to store the key or store it on the drive and have it encrypted by itself or use a KDF.

Also also: encryption only helps if the device is off, which is seldom the case with phones.

No this assumption is wrong. You still would need to circumvent the Login into the device which is mostly secured by a pin or password or biometrics.

No. You watch too many Movies. Yes there were attempts from state sponsored actors to weaken encryption algorithms. But is encryption easy to crack? No.

No. The TPM was not cracked. The communication was sniffed, which is unencrypted. This requires a Device to be modified and then successfully unlocked to get exploited also this does not affect devices where the tpm is integrated in the SoC.

That is mostly good enough, a password that does not get cracked if it is generated randomly.

I doubt it. That info is first party and not to be trusted since it is obviously marketing. Any third party article that backs up their claims?

The conversion to metric is way to easy

Happened a few times to me. Always make sure that you have saved every file correctly and that you compile the correct project. And that there are no cached files or somewhat somewhere.

A lot of IDEs would probably throw a warning about unreachable code.

There are actual use cases where direct memory access and pointer magic can be very efficient or almost necessary. We work a lot with large images and basically always the first steps are some pointer operations.
