> My line of thinking is that if someone is technical enough to root his phone he understands the risks.
That is a terrible assumption. I had a rooted phone when I was 12 to pirate games. Friends asked me to root theirs. Rooting isn’t hard and lots of people do it (absolute not relative terms)
And the idea that so-called “technical” people know what they’re doing and are hack-proof is hot garbage machismo BS. Modern attacks use social engineering and extremely technical people fall for it all the time. There were several stories on here just this week.
