  • "5 ways to hack 2FA" is pretty click-baity though. All of those attacks are either not exclusively related to 2FA or could target another component. If you can just bypass security altogether, instead of questioning 2FA, you should consider ditching that service/site.

    All except point 1, that is. But everyone should know by now that 2FA by SMS is insecure.

  • They have much higher standards

    Than who? Android play store? Definitely. Decades old established package managers like Debian's apt? Not so much.

    Or do you mean the potential third party tool for iOS that doesn't even exist and now is much less likely to be good because of Apple being a douche about it?

  • To the replies in the other threads, they never see fanboys defending Apple, especially not on Lemmy: see? Whataboutism and "sideloading is automatic security and privacy (?!) nightmare" kool-aid.

    More direct reply: no, alternative app stores don't imply less security. They could be more secure even. And sure it's all about money for Apple (and other companies = irrelevant here) but that doesn't void criticism.

  • I still can believe the world to rally together when it means to kill something.

    The enemy must be simple though. Too complicated or invisible or something and the conspiracy nuts will take over.

  • Sure but they’re also sold secondhand. Also people can be born in one country, but move to live in another one… bringing their devices with them. Apple’s DRM can’t be tied to hardware.

    Why not? What happens in the examples you gave? The EU won't forbid such devices entering the EU or they'd have to confiscate them off tourists. How many Americans do you know who have EU devices and vice versa? That issue may be negligible.

  • I think it's sad. This corpo worship results in higher prices for all of us. Apple created this weird pseudo religion that makes other vendors (like Samsung) raising their prices more acceptable while competition should actually put prices under pressure.
