Its almost as if every screaming that this would happen, knew what would happen if back doors were baked into software.


Didn’t see that coming!


I’d say this is good because it forces them to close this loophole, but they’ll have a new one.

Can you imagine the amount of 0-days these agencies must be sitting on top of? 

Even if they don’t, they can easily add some.

Ohhh nooo it looks like we have a buffer overflow in <extremely convoluted kernel module with highly specific trigger>!

In entirely unrelated news Graphine OS is releasing natively on Motorola.

on *a yet-to-be-released Motorola phone, which will be the only Motorola phone to support GrapheneOS.




Which is why making a backend access for the government was always a bad idea. This happened without a backdoor… Now imagine if there was one.


Paywall bypass?


Does that archive site work for everyone else? For me it just reloads to a new captcha after I complete the captcha.




If only someone had warned them.


I trust most foreign governments more than the US government though…
