Putin needs some updates on our top secret military operations.

You might be joking but it rly works a bit that way. He was elected and re-elected with the help of a Russian army of bots and trolls and now he has to deliver.

Just think how bugged Trump's phone is.

[u/eharsh87 → u/Vicstolemylunchmoney]

IIRC there was a time when Presidents weren't allowed to have smartphones just because of how easily they could be compromised.

[u/secondtaunting → u/eharsh87]

Remember that whole thing about how Trump refused to use a secure phone because he liked the iPhone better and was used to it?

[u/InsanePacman → u/secondtaunting]

I thought it was a Samsung?

[u/theflyingfistofjudah → u/InsanePacman]

Iirc, according to his tweets they kept alternating between being posted from an iPhone and a Samsung or something. I think people could tell when he was the one tweeting if it came from an iPhone.

[u/hauwertlhaufn → u/theflyingfistofjudah]

It was exactly the other way around. His team had locked down iPhones and he had a Samsung S3. That Samsung was already outdated back then. (No security patches)

Man, I’m just picturing the Chinese and Russian hackers laughing their asses off after they managed to hack him and his family on day one.

In 2009 it was a multi-week news story about Obama getting a BlackBerry and what features it would be allowed to have

[u/Lurcher99 → u/eharsh87]

There was a time our President couldn't be compromised.

[u/bloodfist → u/Lurcher99]

At least not by foreign governments. Just good old fashioned oil companies and healthcare industry lobbyists.

[u/Joe_Franks → u/eharsh87]

Iirc, they used Blackberry smart phones because they were super secure and that's why society did away with Blackberry.

[u/Joe_Franks → u/[deleted]]

Modern iPhones come with w a back door that certain law enforcement agencies are privy, Blackberry refuted that ideology and won for a while at least..

[u/Joe_Franks → u/[deleted]]

Then you ate uninformed.

[u/NewPresWhoDis → u/eharsh87]

There’s a reason the government loved Crackerrys

[u/EducationalAd812 → u/eharsh87]

He refused to use the secure one last time but complained about Hillary. 

[u/Xist3nce → u/Vicstolemylunchmoney]

They don’t have to bug his phone, he willingly brings them all the intel they need in person. We’ve seen the meetings every time.

[u/AlexanderIsBoring → u/Vicstolemylunchmoney]

I remember reading that last time he had several years past security updates personal Galaxy he was using, and it took people some time to convince him to use the fully locked down government issued phone.

[u/UltraCynar → u/Vicstolemylunchmoney]

Why would it be bugged. He's a willing accomplice
