am actually interested what turns out to be the problem

after responding last night lying in bed i was thinking about the recent broadcom wifi chip vuln and some of the known cellular network attacks and started getting really :tinfoil: about it and had to then remind MYSELF that i and no one that postso n this forum is important enough to burn that level of 0days on so that i could actually get to sleep

i kindly disagree but the number of posters is quite small for that level of targeted attack

Take solace in the fact that :nsa: and friends put a lot of effort into testing to make sure their exploits don't get noticed.


If you noticed it acting weird odds are it isn't nation states being spooky.

It's not rare at all, it's exceedingly common and happening constantly to people across the board, that was not anyone's point

the point is it very very rarely involves highly sophisticated 0day vulns or techniques and is almost always poo poo like reused and leaked passwords or out of date unupdated software or badly written iot devices or phishing with the few times cutting edge stuff is used being highly targeted attacks on specific people in extreme circumstances that warrant burning the exploit

go look at the podcast I linked a few pages back for a good example or hell read how pences email was hacked or the icloud photo thing

To be fair, outside of Nexus devices, I'd assume that any Android device older than a year can be compromised by reasonably well known exploits since the phone will almost never get another firmware patch. It's not burning zero days if your attack from last year still works.

if I had a device that did that I'd pull out one of my 38 kHz IR receivers and hook it up to my scope and see if it was anything with structure or if it was just something spurious

edit: it's almost 100% something spurious but it would be an interesting diversion for 10 minutes

my faithful Horse William threw a Shoe this Morning on another of these damned Spanish Roads. as this is a fairly ordinary Matter i would of course think Nothing of it but i had just rounded a Hill-top from which one might perceive a great Distance, and i had on my Person a Telescope following the Design of the august Sir Robert Hooke, which i regularly employ to spy upon the Game in these blighted Lands. and so i am left to wonder if an Agent of the hated Enemy might have mistaken my Activity for a Spy-ing of a quite different Nature

do not shy to speak me of the Truth, good sir, i beg of you: it was fouché, was it not

Most (really all) people who post in this thread will never be the target of such attacks. Even though I do have legitimate and founded fears about certain actors and my line of work, the use of a Stingray is far down the list and should be for anyone else.

Seriously, I've been under investigation and three letter agencies read my blog and even then I'm not worried about this poo poo.

If you're worried just shred the phone and get a new number.
