Good thing banks use sms for two factor codes
An unnamed FBI official was quoted in the same report as saying that phone users “would benefit from considering using a cellphone that automatically receives timely operating system updates, responsibly managed encryption, and phishing-resistant” multifactor authentication for email accounts, social media, and collaboration tools.
(Emphasis added)
I assume by “responsibly managed encryption” they mean something that still has a backdoor, even though backdoors seem to be a significant part of the problem?
And will continue to be.
The industrial espionage sector usually cracks backdoors inside days of first release (unless they find a better exploit).
That was the point of NSA before 9/11 and the Patriot Act. Before it was completely captured.
