Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Someone installing graphene os for security shouldn't be trusting random second/third/etc hand hardware lol

    There is absolutely no problem with that. The phone is wiped and encrypted when you flash graphene, and it does an integrity check every time it boots.

    Hypothetically the hardware could have been modified, but that would take some insane level of a determined attacker to be fabricating modified pixels just to sell them on the used market.

    Yes, this would only be a concern for targeted attacks by state actors, in which case not even buying new would be safe.

    Thinking about it, in such a scenario buying used may even be safer

    It also comes with a hardware auditor, although you need another trusted graphene phone to use it. I don't know about the details, but sounds very hard to mess with it.
