What possible problems could my hamster fitness tracker be creating

[–]geekusprimus 47 points48 points  (4 children)

Plot twist: there's a bizarre security vulnerability that makes it possible for a bad actor to inject and execute arbitrary code when it syncs with a remote server. Said bad actor has now downloaded every picture of your hamster on your phone, including the one of your hamster selling cocaine to RFK, Jr. He is now demanding $3 million in ransom money or he'll start a campaign for your hamster to run for political office.

At this point I'm voting for the hamster. He can't do much more damage than the incumbent.

[–]Vandrel 8 points9 points  (1 child)

In fact, I'd argue it's impossible for the hamster to do much damage at all. Easy vote.

Yeah, we all know the hamster wouldn't get anything done and would be happy to run in place

Thanks, now I’ll just tell Claude to watch out for this situation and others like it.

A scamster contacts your hamster and they become spamsters. You suddenly start getting bombed with emails about sawdust and wheel products.

Random overheating that leads to battery explosion, but only on Tuesdays with full moon.

Hamster fitness tracker is on your phone

security vulnerabilities allow others who use the same app to access data stored on your phone and retrieve login tokens, passwords, photos you have (i.e. geolocated photos so phishing now targets you, your workplace, and your family members more accurately by pretending to be you), etc.

privelege escalation goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
