Security hole:

You go to log into, say, your bank's website.

The bank sends a 6-digit security code to your phone.

You subvocalize it so you can remember it long enough to type it into your laptop.

Someone is listening through your already-compromised microphone.

@peterdrake@qoto.org Oh, do people do that out loudly? I do it loud in my mind, not my voice.

@trinsec I do, but it's hard to know because nobody would do it with anyone else around.

@peterdrake And your phone company has already found out your bank account and sold that along with your address and triangulated coordinates to market analysts.
