Reboot Phone if Loud Noises

angela

I live in a bad neighborhood and my threat model include home invasion by gangs.

Is there a way to autoreboot the phone if loud noise happens and to unblock the microphone to do this? I'd like to use the alarm feature but do not like the phone in AFU while I am sleeping in case of home invasion.

angela I power off the device when going to bed. Maybe that can apply to you ?

angela Alarms work in BFU too.

angela Don’t think so but unlikely that a gang is going to have the technical capabilities of exploiting your phone even in AFU mode.

How can you even sleep knowing that some gang can come in at any time? (serious question) I myself would be moving to another neighborhood or country faster than the blink of an eye if that was my situation.

DeletedUser131 this gave me a laugh 😆

DeletedUser26 Especially if auto-reboot is set to a lower value. But i think their concern is rather forcing them to unlock it with fingerpeint etc. than exploits.

Rizzler Fingerprint unlock can be blocked with lockdown mode. Cool name but it doesn't do much besides that.

Was repeatedly hacked on a network level after posting that. could be a coincidence but afraid this discussion group is monitored somehow

im done with being here. this is too uncertain

angela I doubt anyone here hacked you but if you think someone is on your network you could change your WiFi password. Make sure you’re using WPA3 etc.

angela How do you know you were attacked?

angela

DeletedUser26 i think it's less likely anyone here hacked me and more likely some device at a data center logs incoming connections and send them elsewhere independent of this discussion board, but it's just a guess and it could be an unrelated attack.

angela If that were the case you’d get a certificate error in your browser, did that happen?
