How large is this preinfected phones problem? Is it large enough to sacrifice freedom?

We have had a large discovery of pre-installed malware every year for the past decade so far. Seems like a fairly big problem.

  • And how exactly did attestation help there?

    Securing apps from the user does not secure the user from malware.

    • Now you can't bundle malware deep within the system "ROM" unless you want to break SafetyNet's attestation. It's a big change in that aspect.
