Hardening cellular basebands in Android
Baseband bugs are operationally problematic. The target needs to be in radio range to get exploited, which is fine for some operations but for many it is just not feasible.
It sort of removes the point of using cyber, in some way. Rather than being remote, you have to be local.

Don’t ever share photos of yourself breaking the law. People who are trained for years and years and years still make OpSec slip ups from time to time. If you don’t believe me, you can simply ask @thegrugq or @MalwareJake. OSINT is way way way easier than OpSec. https://t.co/nZ8RtJ9993

Accessing sensitive data will require biometric authentication on an iOS device, not just the unlocked device. This renders stealing the passcode less useful for thieves.
This configuration is, interestingly enough, the security setup that is recommended for mobile devices used on the Ukrainian front lines. Unlock the device with a passcode, but each application (that supports it) has to be individually unlocked with biometrics. This prevents the enemy from abusing access to a device recovered from the battlefield.
Innovation from the intense security environment of the Russo-Ukraine war makes its way into consumer devices!
