Hackers claimed to have stolen more than 2 billion records containing sensitive information including Social Security numbers, with some data reportedly leaked online.
Here’s a Naomi Brockwell video about it. I also used to avoid it, but that video changed my mind. I can easily turn off the biometrics if I’m going somewhere where LE might force me to unlock it (e.g. travel), but I can just mis-scan it a few times and it’ll force me to enter the PIN anyway.

Yeah, that can work, but GrapheneOS at least has an automatic reboot option after so much time has passed w/o being used. I set mine to 4 hours so it’ll reboot at night, but I make it a lot less when I’m traveling. Everything is encrypted on a fresh boot and calls still work (emergency outgoing, and any incoming), so it’s a really nice bit of extra security for lazy people like me.
