Wolffan wrote: changing IMEI numbers, that's illegal. Nospam's utter lack of credibility is astounding. What you seem to forget so easily is that we've had this discussion in spades in the past, where, on Android at least, it's trivial to automatically change your reported IMEI number on the fly, trivial or not (and it's not), it's still illegal. not around here it¹s not. it's fraud. no, it¹s not. Fraud is deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. that's *exactly* what changing an imei does. there is *no* legitimate reason for an end user to change an imei. period. it's solely to deceive for unlawful gain. The mere act of changing the IMEI does not gain someone anything whatsoever and does not deprive anyone of anything. only if you *never* connect it to the cellular network is that true, and you know quite well nobody changes the imei and leaves it in a box. people change the imei to hide a stolen device or to get around carrier restrictions for a particular device, such as to use a smartphone on a dumbphone plan to avoid paying higher rates. both are fraudulent. its also illegal to change the license plate on your. cops run the plates and if it doesn't match the vehicle registration, your day will be a whole lot worse than it otherwise would have been. |

I am not permitted to show you wrong by drawing a logical parallel. it's not a logical parallel. a logical parallel would be changing the serial number of a gun: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/5861 It shall be unlawful for any person‹ .... (g) to obliterate, remove, change, or alter the serial number or other identification of a firearm required by this chapter; or (h) to receive or possess a firearm having the serial number or other identification required by this chapter obliterated, removed, changed, or altered; or (i) to receive or possess a firearm which is not identified by a serial number as required by this chapter; or another logical parallel would be changing the vin on a car: https://www.justice.gov/usam/crimina...4-altering-or- removing-motor-vehicle-identification-numbers Section 511(a) of Title 18 makes it a felony knowingly to remove, obliterate, tamper with, or alter an identification number for a road motor vehicle or a road motor vehicle part. Section 511(b) of Title 18 creates exceptions for certain persons who engage in lawful conduct that may result in removal or alteration of an identification number. The legislative history is abundantly clear that subsection (b) is not intended to create a loophole for the operators of "chop shops." See H.R.Rep. No. 1087 on H.R. 6257, 98th Congress, 2d Sess. 23-25 (1984). yet another logical parallel would be to swap license plates. see how well that works out for you when a cop runs the plates and sees it doesn't match the vehicle. |

Committing an illegal act is one thing, enforcement is another. I have a pistol laying on the shelf right now. I could take it into my garage and remove the serial number. So long as I don't get caught with that un-numbered firearm, nothing will happen to me. (For the record, my pistol has it's serial number intact, and I have a concealed carry permit for it.) A couple months ago, I was stopped for speeding, eight miles over the posted speed limit, an illegal action. (A fairly deserted straight stretch of county road.) The officer took my paperwork, ran my plates and license, came back to my truck, and told me to watch my speed in the future. He choose not to enforce. In the real world, where the rest of us live, illegal things happen all the time, and sometimes without consequence. -- Ken Hart |

"The Hut Six Story" https://www.amazon.com/Hut-Six-Story...+hut+six+story or https://tinyurl.com/y8br99l2 is an interesting introduction the extraction of information from messages when not actually being able to decipher them. Agreed, with another example of "AF" being "Midway" and the ruse of the water plant being out of service is another example of how very definite information can be gleaned with snippets of metadata such that no consumer grade mobile device is /safe/ despite that there is one brand X marketing organization that spends millions each year to convince it's gullible users that they're safe (from one, and only one, type of attack - which is a frontal brute force attack on their stored data - which is only one of a thousand links in the chain). |
