You could use a kernel RCE to brick a phone, but that would be like spending $100k on a prank, most people would just give you their phone for half of that, so why would do that? We envision govs developing attacks to spy on dissidents, not pranking their friends.

I understand the risks of a kernel RCE. But what happened when she did her demo to help the engineers reproduce? Did they reboot their phones using the magic button sequences to force a hardware reboot? Or were their devices damaged beyond a reboot?
