You can just go to a store, buy a keyboard, place this inside it, and then return to store, and when someone else buys it they get fucked.

yeah that sounds like a shitty thing to do

>>25606097 I'm gonna do it to you

In times of 2FA passwords are almost useless. All things which could be interesting are hiding behind 2FA. If logged in from another country or area you usually get a notification for this.

>>25606107 Meh, it can steal 2fa key files stored on computer too. Just search for files with "2fa" on them, they are almost always unencrypted, I can take those too. But still many people don't have 2fa enabled still.

>>25606119 Who stores 2FA keys on his computer? Its all on phone.

>>25606131 I do, but he might also have it browser data. Meh, there are many things one can do with it, could also download malware from be to work as a bit locker, or maybe one could search for compromising information such as if they watch CP and demand btc in exchange. I'm just theorizing, not an actual hacker. Also if you get passwords for Gmail you can reset most people's 2fa on most sites, but it depends obviously.

>>25606156 Sure there is potential anyway. I’m setting up 2FA with phone number via SMS when possible.

>>25606178 I wonder how much money small time hackers can make

>>25606091 Doubt the information will be very valuable. Also losing a perfectly good micro controller.

>>25606390 Why wouldn't the information be valuable ?

>>25606392 I don't know. I just feel like it'd be likely the person who gets the keyboard would be a boring person with no life and nothing of value to gain for you. It seems like you'd need to do it a few times on a few keyboards to get a really good target.

>>25606404 Well of course, not every target will be valuable, but that applies most things. In any case, you don't need an "interesting" person, most people have something about them one can make money from in some way.

>>25606097 What does the child have to do with it?

>>25606392 Imagine some bernd(current year) buys it Good luck extorting money from some schizo nonce's disability payments

Don't be an asshole. >>25606131 I do. I bet everyone does. Microsoft literally recommends browser extensions that store the otp key together with the password. 2fa is fucking bullshit.

>>25607691 What if I hack a brown person?

>>25607866 wow, imagine getting into a brown person's oogabooga files

>>25606096 This reminds me of how we had a thread (also made by SWE, maybe even the same) about being industry-grade refurbished HDDs for his NAS. A Bavarian-ball chimed in and said something about security concerns. The HDD controller could be flashed with malicious firmware. I accepted this as a viable threat scenario. Few weeks later I realized: Who says the HDDs I buy new on Amazon weren't returned by someone who flashed it and are sold by Amazon as new again? As far as I am aware retailers 'can sell goods' that were returned by the buyer for reasons within a short period after the purchase and don't have any flaws '''as new''' again. How do I know China doesn't buy a lot of hardware on Amazon DE flashes it with the China virus, returns it and buyer then buy that malicious stuff?

Is it safe to buy a secondhand laptop?!

>>25607912 Nothing is safe. Better start wiring your own 8bit computer

>>25607909 Wouldn't the firmware be write protected?

>>25607926 I have no idea about these things. The Bavarian ball seemed like having knowledge, so I kneeled

>>25607912 Obviously not

>>25607939 How so?

>>25607927 It should be, but I guess you can circumvent that by using an external flasher. I don't know enough about this either.
