  • A Twitter user has claimed that her Pixel 5a, which was mailed in for repairs, was stolen.
  • The device was apparently used to access her various services in a bid to find nude photos.
  • Google said it was investigating the user’s claim.

Sending your smartphone in for repairs should ordinarily be a no-frills affair. Unfortunately, it seems like one Pixel user has reported that their phone was stolen and their photos and services were compromised after sending it in for mail-in repair.
