The Up Phone Is a Fucking Disaster

Unplugged Some months ago, I was watching Mental Outlaw’s video talking about the UP Phone. Overall it definitely sparked some interest in me as it seemed to be very similar to the infamous Freedom Phone and Anom phone honeypot made by the feds.
The only difference being that I actually had the opportunity to investigate it before it inevitably crumbled back into dust.
TL:DR Overpriced phone Proprietary software and App Suite Reselling FOSS app’s under a monthly subscription ($13 a month) Removing all credit and software licenses from the stolen app’s Hostile user base & technologically incompetent owners Previously hosting CSAM channels on their Matrix homeserver Reconnaissance As with all jobs, casing the joint is a pretty good place to start.
