Not energy, just electricity. Primary energy use fraction is the important part.
Mobile operators have baseband which is why we have modem isolation. And some of us can see quite a bit on our end, too.
This isn't even wrong. What is the attack vector? They send a magic message that 0wns Signal, and then cleans up? At scale? With nobody noticing? This doesn't happen.
Ah, I see. With your own instance that doesn't federate with Meta or with instances which federate with Meta you won't have such users.
Have you operated your own MTA and tried to get reliable mail delivery to Google, Microsoft or Yahoo? If not, you should try.
Thanks, bookmarked.
Yes, but all mine are off. For powersaving reasons.
How would you know what a user uses? Defederating from Meta and any instances that federate with Meta should be enough.
I know not a single one who has that. My wife uses WhatsApp and Instagram though.
Such people probably have WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok already. A liitle extra cancer doesn't matter to them.
How do you get Pegasus onto LineageOS or GrapheneOS? Especially on hardware with modem isolation?
You need to exploit an OS vulnerability or use suitable baseband processor as a backdoor, facilitated by the cellular operator. To exploit the OS or an a service on it you need a network connection. You can't inject through an ad if there is no browser or email if there is no client.
Yes, you can spearphish but this can't mass-target French mobile users as the article seems to claim. France isn't North Korea, not just yet.
