Except they have control of the phone and can intercept text and email alerts, if not with these exact vulnerabilities, it doesn't seem far fetched. And getting funds returned takes time while bills still have to be paid.

These folks may not want money, but the phone is vulnerable and the next set of folks may. Do you really think the crooks who commit identity theft and ransomware attacks aren't salivating at these attacks?

I think the nation states that will want to use them will clamp down hard on two bit hustlers who interrupt the fun.

I mean that’s generally true but depends on which state actor. North Korea definitely wants your money (or crypto) but Russia doesn’t.

Russia could hypothetically be interested in using your bank account to exfiltrate funds past sanctions though...
