Not a lawyer, so just pure speculation: If you get arrested and had previously written "the code is 1-2-3-4" on your arm, and the cop saw that and unlocked the phone with all the evidence, I seriously doubt any court is going to consider that a violation of your rights. Facial unlock seems more or less like writing the pin code of your face in magic iPhone-only readable ink. I guess what I'm saying is if you're the kind of person who likes to commit crimes or doesn't trust police, don't use biometric unlock features. :shrug:

I don't mean that in a "well, if you have nothing to hide..." kinda way. Rather it's a choice to get more convenient/faster unlocking, in exchange for only defending against random thefts and snoops, and not advesaries targeting you specifically who may or may not enjoy a bit of the ultraviolence.

yeah make sure you tattoo your password underneath your scrote to create a presumption of privacy

You are supposed to get 11 tattoo's that say "my pin is X1-11." The trick is all 11 of the PINs are incorrect, but after the 10th pin has been entered the phone erases itself so they can't prove you were lying when you said the pin was tattooed on your body.

yeah, but you can set it to always require touch+pin to unlock, which is what i assume kuvo wanted by context, to stop someone using the touch sensor to unlock the phone without permission, but they asked about disabling touch for unlocking so i was just interested if it was something other than that

one of my bank apps doesn't offer a convenient pin or pattern lock to skip entering the whole long password everytime, but does offer using the fingerprint sensor to unlock it. however that requires using the fingerprint sensor to unlock the entire phone to be enabled which i'd rather prefer not to do.

right, so not require unlocking at all, but would like to have to use the fingerprint sensor for sensitive things. okay, makes sense i suppose.

ianal but say I had a postit that said 'password: imverysmart2017' that when entered would delete the crypto key for my drive and reboots the box. I do this to prevent my snooping wife from finding my porn folder but the cops take my machine and see the postit and try the password which leads to all the data being effectively erased.

My question is, who the gently caress cares. gently caress da police, 2017.

upgrade to the most popular phone in the world, the iPhone, since that lets you disable fingerprint unlock but still lets you use it for other apps

gg on shipping the debug symbols

Interestingly the following compilation artifact was found within the CCleaner binary that Talos analyzed:

code:
S:\workspace\ccleaner\branches\v5.33\bin\CCleaner\Release\CCleaner.pdb
Given the presence of this compilation artifact as well as the fact that the binary was digitally signed using a valid certificate issued to the software developer, it is likely that an external attacker compromised a portion of their development or build environment and leveraged that access to insert malware into the CCleaner build that was released and hosted by the organization.
