what steps need to be taken to secure an android phone against hackers?
>>103227141picrel.first step in securing your shit is to decrease the surface of attack, /lgbt/tourist
>>103227399I have never been to /lgbt/
>>1032271411. replace it with an iPhone
>>103227464iphones are for losers with no self respect
>>103227499>jeet>caring about self respectyou seem to be confused
>>103227464>>103227499samefag
>>103227495here's your captcha
>>103227514i dont wish, i know.youre very predictable, jayyou act like a retard, thats why
>>103227522>apple shills are so desperate to push their overpriced memephone they are now resorting to calling people indiansad
>>103227541thats racism outside of /b/ btwwink wink
>>103227141remove the sim card, snap it in half. it doesnt even matter what phone you have. be you, someone with a phone and bank account. a hacker finds your account login credentials from a data leak because you are stupid and use the same 1-2 passwords for everything. So the hacker pays someone in Moldova $300usd to gain access to their countries cellular network backbone called SS7, the hacker then logs in, the verification code is sent via text to the hacker instead of you because they used SS7 to claim your phone was roaming in another country and redirected the text to a rogue imsi claiming to be you. now they have your bank account and empty your balance to -$5000 and you cant do shit about it because lmao nooooo we cant turn off 3G because muh 1.7% of people still using it afraid of change
>>103227541>pointing out the ones calling apple users indian are indian themselves is being desperatesar
>>103227557>waah waah I'm being ass-blasted, better report this post for an unrelated thing before further damage is done!!1
>>103227560I don't do any banking on my phoneI just don't want weirdos reading my text messages
>>103227586hopefully you reported thatfalse or misclassified reports are a bannable offense too
>>103227557snitches get stitches
>>103227605then why do you snitch, jay?
>>103227605>>103227615(cont.)thats literally your job, no?you get a report, and then pass it to mods, no?thats your fulltime, unpaid job as a jany
>>103227596every single bank in the US uses your phone for verification at minimum. unless you are 70 years old and do all your banking in person, you are using 2fa on your laptop or pc or tablet or whatever, and if the 2fa is sms or voice, you are at risk.
>>103227647I will be a moderator one day and then it will be me who has the last laugh
>>103227654ahhh thats ALMOST impersonating a 4 chan staff memberalso: 2mw, im sure
>>103227650it's called having more than one phone number
ok so to get this thread vaguely back on topicshould I install an anti virus? a firewall?do I need to uninstall any of the default apps?
>>103227672what will that accomplish you stupid fuck
>>103227695dont use phonebanking. simple asdo your banking ops in personif you cant,every app you have installed on your phone is a possible vulnerability, so you want it to be as barebones as possibleim not a phonefag so i couldnt teach you to harden androidi gave mine to my father once i didnt need it anymore (i needed it for school things)
>>103227695If you followed the steps at >>103227464 you don't need any of that.Hope that helps!
>>103227667that's such a little bitch behavior>I'll report you for this!>I'll report you for that!kysbtw announcing a report is against the rules too, retard
>>103227720yeah, sure, ofc, mh-hmmmhttps://www.threatscape.com/cyber-security-blog/iphone-security-flaw-exposes-billions-to-potential-hacking/> This bug has been present in iOS since version 6 (released in 2012) and evidence of attackers using it goes as far back as January 2018.
>>103227710wellif the sim card that I plug into this android device has a different number than the one that is registered to my banking accountthen.....
>>103227739i didnt announce a report thoim pointing out stuff in hopes someone else will <3
Unlocked bootloader, but even Xiaomi now disallows that. Good luck. Google it, it's over.
>>103227141Degoogle, or minimize it's use, don't install ads infested shit, or look for workaround/front end alternatives that are open source, same as you keep your pc nice and tidy with commonsense 2024 November update, you can just use that for your phone
>>103227762you're the only crying little bitch itt
>>103227772your impotent rage makes me feel good about myselfits not every day that you can btfo a jany>>103227654
>>103227747>iOS 13.4.1 and below are vulnerable.oh no!
>>103227785that's not me you neanderthal
>>103227790its not like new vulns dont get found everyday and this one went unnoticed for 6 years, across multiple versions of the osyour tech comprehension is cargo cult-tier, jayyou probably should go back to jannying /a/ or some other similar shithole
>>103227802yeah, they must be found so often that you had to dig an article from 2018 to prove your point...
>>103227827no, i just clicked on the first result and you cant catch em allsomething something border guard and drugs traffickingas in if you find more drugs, that doesnt mean your BG is improving, it only means theres more drugs flooding into the country
>>103227857cope
>>103227908second link thenhttps://www.linkedin.com/posts/liveoverflow_ever-wondered-how-iphones-can-be-hacked-remotely-activity-7251193087308222464-sC8sthats from one month agoand picrel is the jewgle results
>>103227560>disable international service>Pajeet can't get in my phoneCheckmate, Hinduist
>>103227946if you weren't so desperate you'd have realized the link doesn't talk about any particular vulnerability
>>103227995>desperatei didnt even read iti dont give a fuck about normalspace things, or the traps associated with theseyoure a clinical retard so i will reiterate:you dont do securtty through tinkertransitionyou reduce the attack surface like a normal person, then you see from there if its only worth more effort
>>103228017ios has a smaller attack surface than android...it's getting embarrassing, you should stop.
>>103228056im not even sure about that given the articlesand using phonebanking is like leaving your car with its keys in the ignitionyoure telling me the keys are dark in color so the thief is less likely to see themwhen im telling you its an utterly retarded practice to begin withitoddlers and their cargo-cult...
>>103228072I'm not telling you anything, sarYOU brought up attack surface and security through obscurity, for some reasonI just pointed out ios has, undeniably, a smaller attack surface than android. that's a fact
>>103228094>I'm not telling you anything, sarthen youre talking to yourself?your buttbuddies left, so theres no one to group cope therapy with, i see
>>103228108at this point I'm just humoring your sad ass
>>103228135dont?youre clearly in over your head
>>103228167I don't understand what you're trying to say but it's clear you've fallen for me and just want to keep the conversation going.when are you going to ask me out?
>>103228204>you've fallen for megay fantasiesat this point, as an apple user, youre doing anti-advertisement
>>103228212there's no such thing as anti-advertisement
>>103228235ofc there isyou can call it bad prt. (also) marketingroidjust ask ubischlock. or dismal disney
>>103227141>Drive to Apple Store>Have your data moved to a brand new iPhone 16 Pro 256GB>Never use Android again
>>103228263bad-pr is not the same thing as "anti-advertisement", and certainly isn't "being for gay people".you could, theoretically, bring in as many new faggots as you lose straight customers
>>103227946>>103228291>same shit different packagingwhy are phonefags retarded?
>>103227499Apple users accuse non-apple users of being Pajeets. Everyone else accuses anyone speaking favourable of Apple of being a Pajeet.So what do Pajeets actually buy?
>>103228295>and certainly isn't "being for gay people".now thats copetrump was elected bc everyone has faggot-fatigueyes, for this exact reason. the vast majority of the electorate has no idea how the economy works
>>103228319nah, THAT's cope I'm not american and you aren't either, but we both know trump won because joe was a terrible president and the woman, being utterly retarded, would be even worse
>>103227141create a fake identity. every time you get a spam call, add it to your contact list as a relative of your fake id. use your brain to learn phone numbers like we all did before this garbage started.
>>103228346you overestimate americansthey dont identify aipac as a foreign influence, believe that big corpo is an example of efficiency and they call nationalizing the heaviest industry- communismfaggots are the reason trump got elected.its the same reason every right winger gets electedbecause they are the glove that keeps the hand clean so to speak>remove faggots bc muh bad>but the electricity is still hyperinflated, all the while bulk price for electricity is at a 10-year low>the difference is already multiples of the money spent on the jewcraine war, by both sides, because were talking about ~10% of europe's GDP>everyone pays, nobody cares, or ask questionsi told you the electorate is, on average, retardedthe more elite people know about this swindlebut the normgroids who constitute the vast majority of votes know shit and only from hearingergo:they voted trump bc le gayses and tranny reading hours
>>103228411>you overestimate americansno, I don't they elected a 130yo man with dementia, and then half the country proceeded to vote for a 40yo karen with dementiaanyway let's go back to talking about flamewars and calling each other jeets
>>103228467>let's go back to talking about flamewars and calling each other jeetsagreed. economics is off topic for this board anyways
>>103228485>is off topic for this board anywaysthe fact this thread is still up is proof mods don't care or are asleep in the middle of the day
>>103228534eh, they occasionally enjoy off topic threads tootheir tolerance to specific topics is dependent on who's jannyingbut i noticed all of /g/ jannies have at least *some tolerance to interesting stuff. even jay.
>>103228567I haven't noticed that at all as my pass spends more time banned than not, and in fact it's still banned until tomorrow
>>103227495sars is very correct sars android and AMD are great value sars!
>>103228608same here. except i dont evadebut i do tend to veer off topic and sometimes i dont get banned for a month at a timeand it isnt because i play nice, not at allusually i post for one day and then the next 3 i wait for the ban to pass thoughmaybe mods are sympathetic? maybe jannies and mods realized they can ban me all they want, i will not submit to the pressure? why didnt i get permabanned for a fallacious reason then?we can only speculate. but us, users, do get some leeway. sometimes at least...
>>103228648>except i don't evadeit's okay if you don't want to admit and risk getting banned again, just blink repeatedly if that's the caseif not, that's fucking gaydon't submit to the jannies, just reset your router, clear your cookies and you're good to go.but it's wild, sometimes I get away with blatant shit like the posts on this thread, only to get a 3-day for posting uoh or ywnbaw
>>103228710>but it's wild, sometimes I get away with blatant shit like the posts on this thread, only to get a 3-day for posting uoh or ywnbawi guess were having a mildly interesting discussion thenor at least were not bothering the other users too muchi still dont evade thoa) forcing a new ip lease takes several hours with my ispb) it would be dignifying this place as being worth evadingfinally, c) i would have a permaban attached to my memes. and i like my memesi could evade easily, but i have ideological as well as practical reasons not to
>expecting serious answers and discussionmy bad
>>103228640>Always hear people say "Apple owns the phone market">They're always AmericansWhy am I not surprised by this statistic?
>>103228764>forcing a new ip lease takes several hours with my ispthat sucks. I can get a new ip in a few seconds>it would be dignifying this place as being worth evadingcounter point: silently obeying the ban is acknowledging the jannies have power over you
>>103228863you got serious answers thoughand if encoded messages is all you want there exist a couple apps that do just thatyou could write your own appbut neither solution will help with an os-level backdoorthe attacker can read your texts as you input them, and your interlocutor's- as you read emif you really need private communication, encode your texts with an OTP, intersperse the cyphertext within matching words, and then the channels of communication are irrelevant to youyou could post your message in a newspaper's lonely hearts section for all you careor you go taliban and talk face to faceyou cannot wiretap a camel ;)
>>103228863you had your answer in the very first posts itt
>>103228900>counter point: silently obeying the ban is acknowledging the jannies have power over youyes and no at the same timeyes, obviously, because it validates their powerno, because if i evade that means i actually care about not getting banneda couple years ago i survived a couple hours on this board at a time, on averagethis regime lasted a while, but at a certain point the jany or the mods just gave up, keki was getting banned for ywnbaw's only to repost the exact same thing as my first post, once i came back from the banalso to taunt them to show them how little i cared about the ban proper
>>1032271411. Install GrapheneOS2. Enable airplane mode3. Only connect through a usb-c to Ethernet adapter4. Don't run proprietary software. don't give apps any permissions other than network. isolate every app with private space, especially if it has additional permissions 5. Reboot phone every day
>>103228961>once i came back from the banthey probably didn't even remember you anymore.if you want to be a itch on their balls you need to overwhelm them, hence the ban evasion
>>103229128maybeidk how i would know for sureanyhoo, this was a pleasurebut im gonna have to get some groceriescya around
>>103227464>replace it with the only brand in the world with a confirmed Hardware Backdoor
>>103229208it was good arguing with you, androidfag friend
