Shit, I’d be scared to go anywhere near defcon with any device.

    Let me guess, it was an iPhone? Someone just used AirDrop and you might've allowed everyone sending you files.

    It was Android :-) WiFi, NFC and BT turned off. It was Android 12 I believe, back in 2022.

    Did you use a "supplied" charger while there?

    Nope - aware of juice jackers, so I only used my own cables and adapters (even have a USB condom).

    I'm generally pretty security aware, but my only theory of how it landed there is some cellular exploit. Whether it was a crafted MMS, a custom cell site, or something else I don't know.

    I did use mobile data for some ubers, but that was off-site.
