This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

    I also fucking hate Apple, with the same seething rage that redhats hate Windows, and I too must admit this is shockingly effective security.

      Is it though? The author of this article knows what they’re doing, but a regular person would probably not be as relaxed with some of the threats. I didn’t see this in the article, how does the thief have the ability to contact the victim?

        Oh it could be better for sure. But he’s got access to all the messages and data, getting a number at that point is probably trivial.
