Why would a criminal store incriminating information on his phone? That does not seem very smart.
They can do the same with every OS in every device.
>>51482240
Why would any "criminal" use a phone? heh
>>51482255
> They can do the same with every OS in every device.
Not with iPhone running ios 8 and later.
>>51482072
better buy an iphone instead
They're talking about the passcodes that usually protect a phone.
If you read the entire article, or hell, even the summary, you'll see that they're railing against Apple and Google using unbreakable FDE.
>>51482318
Android doesn't even use FDE. Google again delayed it indefinitely... probably a pushback from governments around the world.
>>51482072
you can easily decrypt iphones as well
just hold the person down and put his thumb on the scanner.. easy
>>51482072
They cannot "decrypt" Android devices.
They can reset, and therefore bypass, the screen lock, but NOT full device encryption.
>>51482348
LMAO... that's illegal and makes all the evidence inadmissible. Also, most criminals don't use a thumbprint scanner.
>>51482360
>NOT full device encryption
good because 99% of Android devices don't even use FDE.
>>51482389
So install a ROM that has that option available to you?
Works fine for me, but I check for shit like that before I buy a device. I have no idea why you'd buy a phone that doesn't have the option of FDE if you care about it.
who cares? someone who steals your phone isnt going to be able to decrypt it. dont do illegal shit and you wont be fucking arrested
>>51482426
half the shit doesn't work with FDE. not to mention that many OEMs will void your warranty if you use FDE.
It's a lose-lose proposition right now.
>>51482344
Not by default. FDE has been available for a few years on Android. They haven't pushed it because of the shit storm that would happen when thousands of people lose all their data because of forgotten passwords.
>>51482455
>not to mention that many OEMs will void your warranty if you use FDE.
this is a bitch ass lie
Nearly every new phone has the option to turn it on and every nexus since the nexus 5 has come with an encrypted disk and the first question it asks you is to set the key
>>51482566

>>51482372
The police are allowed to fingerprint you when you are arrested. They can also use that fingerprint to unlock some iPhones.
They can't get your encryption password you have to enter in when you boot. Fuck you
>>51482072
That's a remote unlock for when your phone is remotely locked.
Apple can do the exact same thing.
>>51482072
I just found that paragraph as it was literally right before they started talking about Android 5.0 and how that would make that impossible.
So shut the fuck up.
>>51482072
And I care why?
>>51483569
I don't care either. I'm not poor/indian/chink... so I don't have to use Android either.
>>51482072
>trusting default OS manufacturer encryption like the android default or BitLocker ever.
Also smart criminals use burners, I applaud police arresting dumb thugs.
>>51483206
This.
If police wants your info, it gets it even if you like it or not

>The hijacking happens after a user has installed a trojanized app that masquerades as an official app available in Google Play and then is made available in third-party markets.
Surprise surprise, the same circumstances as the last malware.
Moral of the story, don't install shit that requires permissions that are suspicious for what the application needs to do, particularly when dealing with stuff outside the Play Store.
>>51482072
Brb shredding phone
No joke
Go to security and disable "Android Device Manager" as system admin.
THERE, DONE
Stop spreading FUD.
there are still people who are too poor to buy an iphone? this is why you're still a virgin

Good job you guys.
>>51487377
>Even iPhones.
no they can't
>>51487343
If it's on by default, it means 95%+ of all Android phones have an exploitable backdoor.
Every single smart phone out there running these operating systems from various companies have master keys for these devices.
Don't kid yourself, these silicon valley entities are not on your side in regards to privacy. Remember, Uncle Sam handles their tax returns, among other facets affecting their profit margins. Stop being their walking billboards.
