Why are you so sure? Not everybody shares vulnerabilities with the world. Some people keep them for themselves or sell on the black market. I doubt OnePlus offer a reasonable payment for that.



Because it's not a high target device. Valuable targets are not using outdated OnePlus devices. There might not be money to be made, but there is reputation to be earned by discovering a new vulnerability. I doubt a vulnerability in some old 6T hardware would be worth much, while disclosing it and padding a resume would be.


People who use non-mainstream systems and rely very little on proprietary software are automatically more interesting. They may have something to hide.


I think that's a massive case of confirmation bias and exaggeration. People that use GrapheneOS are significantly, substantially more of a target than someone using a librem out of principle.

I don't think you have much of a point at all, but I also don't see this discussion going anywhere interesting so I'll leave it at that.

I don't dispute that. However, if you take into account that Google (who create Pixel devices) is a part of Prism, GrapheneOS users could likely be targeted in another way.


You've made that vague claim a number of times before, and unless I steelman it into being merely handwavy, it comes across as pure FUD. I don't even know where to begin.

But next year GrapheneOS will be releasing an OEM phone.
