Agree with Rob 100%. I need physical access to hack a phone and even then I have to get lucky. It has to be one of the phones with known vulnerabilities and it has to be behind on security patches.

What you described is not a legitimate product. The way you charge your phone has nothing to do with software updates. There is a product that has Bluetooth and it monitors your phone charge state and prevents certain types of overcharging.

@utube7917 Listen to Rob's hacking phone talk again. They can't override the underlying operating system. That thing is a hoax.

@utube7917 I'm referring to this video you're commenting on. It explains how hard it is to hack a phone. selinux is very secure.

@Corteum Sure but Rob covered nation state actors. Realistically they are the only ones that have access to a remote exploit. It can take an entire team to find that type of exploit these days. Even then if one other person or group finds it and turns it in the exploit will get patched. If the exploit gets used and someone finds out it gets patched.

@Corteum That's a good point but AGI will be used on both sides so I think it's a zero sum game.
