I'll limit this to devices in use.

  • phone
  • laptop for work and occasionally personal
  • steam deck
  • gaming desktop
  • 4 bay Asus NAS
  • 2 mini PCs (headless)
  • 9 VPSes of varying size (I get them free via work)

If I'm using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it's possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they'd work for anything other than normal phone calls.

He got scammed again? Damn. Sorry, I was referring this one. And not really the details of the scam, but it was the wrong place / wrong time element that reminded me.

Edit: the article you linked is older, so I guess not "again".

Yup, what you're describing sounds inline with how Corey Doctorow fell victim to fraud.

I'm fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don't fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

That's the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.
