This is concerning to me. They're building a database of android zero days, and sitting on it for months. Presumably, state-based actors have access to it. At the very least, this creates a centralized, high-value target for bad actors.

On top of that, the article says that some of the vulnerabilities are being disclosed to OEMs early.

So what do we do now? Use smartphones with legacy Purism or Pine64 hardware?
