My dude, if someone is able to just walk up to your house with a random device and hang out long enough to establish a wifi connection and pull out any sort of useful data you have WAY BIGGER PROBLEMS than someone potentially using your Amazon account to order dildos.
First of all, they have to already know you have that device.
Then they have to physically get close enough to it for a connection to be made.
THEN they have to hang around long enough for any sort of updates and shit to happen.
THEN THEN they have to try and figure out how to get any useful data from this connection, which is likely an extremely limited one unless they’ve already established how to pivot out of the device and into something else in which case they probably would have just done that through your original device anyway.
THEN THEN THEN they have to find a way to remove said useful information to a device that can actually store it.
All while standing next to your front door holding their dick.
It would be FAR easier to just leave a random USB stick on your porch and wait for your dumb ass to forget it isn’t yours.
Or, even easier than that, just goddamn buy your information on the open market. They already have your address. It’s not like you can’t be found.
Have I illustrated quite yet why these low percentage attacks are the realm of movies?
Oh, by the way, the person with the device has to have received one that wasn’t already tied to THEIR account in any way. You know, like by the automated system that sends these things out reading a barcode on the side of the box that associates device IDs with a particular account. Not sure about anything else but this was the case a decade ago when I bought my first Kindle. I’d imagine it’s a bit more sophisticated now.
Go hang around a random apartment complex with wifi sniffing boxes and see how long it is before someone tackles you.
Honey, if you think a wifi password is needed to pivot to a network then you don’t know what the word pivot means. At that point you’re fucking BREACHED, BITCH. There’s no pivoting, only ownership.
Ah yes, just jailbreak the Amazon device with phantom software that somehow has completely different checksums but still… has the same checksums.
All of this just illustrates you’re an ignorant-ass that doesn’t know how any of this works, wringing your hands about scenarios that DO NOT EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD.
If I absolutely need to get into your network I’m not fucking around with a fucking rooted Amazon FireTV I’m just going to CRACK YOUR FUCKING WIFI PASSWORD DIRECTLY.
Apparently I have all day every day to fuck around so why do I give a shit about it taking a week or two?
More likely, I’ll walk up to your door with my phone in my hand and go “Hey, I just moved into the apartment next to yours and the wifi up at the office is broken. Could I log onto yours for a moment and pay a bill real quick? I apparently don’t get any damn signal here either. I just moved from a fuckin’ building where I had no signal, you’d think they’d have figured it out by now!”
And almost every time this will be more than enough.
