Phones are hackable and stealable.

It me.

I figure it’s a result of how online shopping creeped over to mobile. There was a time where online shopping was relatively common but shopping via a mobile phone was not yet common.

It does only affect some specific places, and I haven’t seen it since 2024 so I’m not sure if it still exists. (It definitely saved us 5% on some bookings in Australia 2 years ago; still did the research on the computer first.)

This is not reimbursable"
