--- Comment #7 from myndstr...@protonmail.ch --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > These are extraordinarily unlikely scenarios What? They aren't. There's way more effort in preventing other kinds of vulnerabilities that require prior access to a machine such as all privilege escalation vulnerabilities such as the recent PwnKit. Not only that but you could also leave your phone unattended but unlocked for a few seconds or some roommate may want to do a "prank" etc. This is more than irresponsible. > and if a nefarious person has unauthorized remote root or unauthorized > non-root local access to the machine, you're already screwed in 500,000 other > ways too.

The > solution is to prevent unauthorized access of that sort from happening. Completely false too: here you can still limit the damage. For example, we still have things like laws and law enforcement which (among other things) can mitigate the amount of damage in this scenario, *especially* if that particular damage is theoretically very easy to inflict for basically everyone (no advanced tech-skills required or alike) and can directly cause large physiological damage (while other damage may not be physiological or often end up not causing harm). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
