Hacking group Anonymous has repeatedly tweeted against Trump and has warned it will be targeting him.

At least some good news for us: By the looks of it we can expect some Podesta-email-scandal type events during the next 4 years.

The group on Friday attached a screenshot in a Link to tweet
/photo/1" target="_blank">tweet explaining how Trump’s phone is vulnerable to hacking as the phone runs on Android 4.4 OS, which is out-of-date with existing security requirements. The tweet mentioned a software called Stagefright which could be used by anyone to hack into the phone.

How Stagefright works

On phones running Android versions older than Android 5.0.1, background components, such as those used to play multimedia files, are implemented in the native C++ code instead of more secure languages such as Java. This leads to remote code execution vulnerabilities, which can be exploited using various hacking methods, one of which is Stagefright.

2. Androids are very hackable

Those older ones have essentially no security. Newer ones are only somewhat better. If Trump is still using the phone he was, it can be "bricked" by sending it a simple msg. There is no patch for older phones. The patch for newer phones has not been released.

There are lots of kit for more serious Android attacks, but you hardly need them.

As for Anonymous, they are a lot of talk, but not ALL TALK unlike some who post here.
