    Reminds me of the time that the FBI created ‘secure’ phones for illicit criminal activities

    There’s a great Search Engine episode on it https://player.fm/series/search-engine-3326982/whats-the-best-phone-to-do-crimes-on

      COX: Drug traffickers love gizmos. They love gadgets. And if they have something like, ooh, the app is hidden behind a calculator, they think that’s amazing, and they want to buy it.

      TIL drug traffickers have the mindset of a teenage boy looking for ways to hide porn.
