Re: When will they learn (@ AC)

you'd think a criminal with with those skills , determination , time , resources would use them on something with more margin than a $1000 iphone , like a $100,000 Range Rover for instance.

Well, when that iPhone has the access code to the remote-controlled front door to the $1.000.000 house[0] that that Range Rover is parked in[1], those $150 and a few hours of 3D-printing and tweaking sounds like a worthwhile investment.

[0] See just about any of the articles on IoT lack of security convenience and the punters who fall for that.

[1] Never mind that there's probably some other stuff worth loading into the back of that Range Rover before taking off.
