Possible catch-22 If there is a MITM, then both the download and the webpage can be manipulated. So, the hashes can both match the download

Your first lesson: The website has cookies.

Updraft is key, IMHO. I've seen a lot of tornadoes created by terrain. River bluffs.

5G is a solution in search of a problem.

This needs to be modded up to +5 Troll, because this is exactly right! Sad.

You missed the tweet that was later corrected. Trump (if he said this, which is questionable since others have his twitter account creds), is missing the constitutional aspect. States control over constitution, that which is not in constitution, are reserved for states.

Your SIM is a processor. https://thehackernews.com/2019... This flawed insecure design has been around a decade. I'll bet that this will make rooting easier.

In the scenario, there is an 'attacker' and an 'accomplice'. Note that both could be your cellco. Note that neither have to be cellco as long as you understand that SS7 is not secure. The attack only requires your cellco number. This is a SIM backdoor, exploitable by anyone that has the SS7 access.

Squirrels get complacent at dusk. The birds (including the hawks), go to their normal nightly spot. Dusk becomes prime time for owls then. An owl eating a squirrel is noisy, but not for long. A Chipmunk eating a cicada is much noisier and lasts longer.

You assume facts not in evidence.

Thank you for your post. With it, I can argue that Google is evil! Evil in the Evil sense of combating Evil! Who knew that Google had such an Evil plan, using so many providers, to combat Evil? (Not posting from my older Evil Rooted [redacted device ID] that has good free tools that I cross-compiled)

We likely should go back to olden days. Voice, face-to-face, paper.

Actually, it is not obvious. If using older device, but the attacker is trying more modern exploit, your browser (maybe tab) just will crash. The crash is a canary.

If one can not write a driver in C, they should not be near a computer.

It makes sense. After 2 decades, all the good backdoors are now buried in silicon. Hell, at some point, Microsoft could open source the NT kernel and userland code! Imagine all of the free bug fixes and better performance! EEE.
