Ok but what's unsecure with '1111' as long as I'm not telling the order of the digits to anybody?
It can be cracked in less than a second?
If someone never loses their phones, laptop... Maybe it's secure.
But if someone steals it, how secure can it be? Is the key protected by the pin encryption? If so the encryption is now useless.
Here is a French video about Micode interviewing the French DGSE : https://youtu.be/g_jEz6aF2b4?si=-sUAIvDf4F7-7kGc
They crack the phone security in 4 seconds with the pin beeing : Mic0rp2022. The software used is hashcat, an open source tool.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic
