I’m honestly wondering who you’re responding to with this. Of course the vulnerabilities are software. Why would they be hardware? OP talked about how he couldn’t update the software to allow him to access an app he wanted to use. They’re on iOS, and you’re talking about Android. Do you think developers don’t debug their software at all? 99.99% of devs aren’t intentionally creating vulnerabilities in their software. We’re not talking about web development?
Because people didn’t dress up as mermaids and go to cons and express how deep down inside they truly are a mermaid, and have a high likelihood of fucking someone else who also felt the same way.
