Sometimes the cell phone is their only phone, as they discontinue using a “land” phone. So…as cell phones become more sophisticated, you may find yourself putting sensitive information on it regarding your business and personal life.
Is your information safe? Can others access your data for unsavory purposes? Will people obtain information you don’t want made public?
I came across an interesting article in New Scientist, The pocket spy: Will your smartphone rat you out? It seems almost too “James Bondish,” but modern technology can spy on us almost anywhere!
You might want to consider how you’re using your cell phone and discover what can and can’t be learned from it.
