   @LostShakerOfSalt People are only going to start distrusting pagers and walkie-talkies and continue to trust the demon rectangles.

     @Suiseiseki @LostShakerOfSalt unless the hack gets out and instead of a swating get your phone set a fire... the real danger is the phone hack is real and it could get into the wild.

     @VIcFury Hacking is playful cleverness; https://stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html
     
     It is theoretically possible to induce thermal runaway in a mobile's Li-ion battery by configuring the charging control software to not limit the charging rate, not stop charging at the defined 100% charge voltage and ignore the temperature sensor, but even then such thermal runaway will only occur when the mobile is left to charge (meaning it could burn down a house and/or gas people somewhat with the toxic vent gas, but not much more).
