Direct Proof that Mishaal and Kamila Leveraged Security Loophole for Android Leaks
In the chat conversation, Mishaal admitted that he was running dogfood builds on his Pixel 8 Pro. To exploit the vulnerability, he used a tool which even allowed him to set his serial number & thus get access to internal builds.
Later, Mishaal admits he knows "someone" who also found this loophole and it would be a "shame" if Google closes it likely because this is the only way he "exclusively" leaks about upcoming Google Pixel or Android features.
He was worried that Google might investigate & find out he had early access to Pixel 10 firmware alongside Kamila. Kamila and their "friend" even sent dogfood build screenshots in Pebble's discord server likely to "flex" as Pebble is owned by Google.
Mishaal also enlightened another person how to leak information safely. He acknowledged that he knows someone with access to the partner repos despite actually running dogfood. At the end when someone would ask about the source, Mishaal mentions that HE WILL DENY using a "Loophole" for getting information by saying that their sources are someone form google, in short: Plausible deniability.

Controlling the Leak: Journalism or Just Business?
Source
Two months ago, a Pixel 9 Pro running an internal dogfood build was leaked on TikTok, showing early Android 16 features like the new UI, ambient AOD walls etc. Since it was so early, many (inc. me) doubted it but journalist Mishaal Rahman didn’t comment when people asked him. He knew it is 100% real but chose not to confirm or deny because then "everyone would spread the leak" which would affect his exclusive coverage. Basically it was "all part of the strategy".
Mishaal later said he’d post about most of those features shown in the leak once Beta 3 dropped, but carefully, since they require the "Flag Flipper" app that is present in dogfood builds only.
In his recent article about Android 16 Big UI Overhaul, he claimed that the new UI features were “hidden in Beta 4”, which in reality they aren’t because these features are only present in internal builds. Many people run Beta builds on their Google Pixel, but you will never see anyone having those new "hidden" UI features except Mishaal Rahman.
Mishaal was also worried about someone revealing a "bunch of internal Google apps," saying Google might investigate and once they figure out "how," they'll close the "loophole," which will make it "much harder to get these builds", thus be lowkey.
If you're wondering why Mishaal is silent on these allegations — it's because he is deleting any messages about these posts in his chats. The chat admins are even banning users for sharing these posts.

You don't want to reveal how you enabled these features, ie. Flag Flipper on a dogfood build
