Nope - aware of juice jackers, so I only used my own cables and adapters (even have a USB condom).

I’m generally pretty security aware, but my only theory of how it landed there is some cellular exploit. Whether it was a crafted MMS, a custom cell site, or something else I don’t know.

I did use mobile data for some ubers, but that was off-site.

It was Android :-) WiFi, NFC and BT turned off. It was Android 12 I believe, back in 2022.

Random files appearing in the downloads folder on my phone has only happened once

I’ve had it for a while myself, but haven’t managed to find anyone on the Bluetooth mesh outside of DEF CON. Would be cool to see it more in the streets!

This official response from I4C just adds to the legitimacy of Bitchat’s use as a local and decentralized chat.
