whereas state actors simply resort to hardware backdoors

What scares me is that google is already doing most of these. A passerby can be talking about a random subject I never had any interest in and then my phone will start advertising to me that exact same topic

The way she talks it sounds like she’s reading off of a textbook, except she is probably the person who wrote the textbook.

some folks sells iphone zerodays for a price of a house

Paying attention to the apps we install is the most important step we can take to protect ourselves. Any other tips? I would add think carefully on what permissions the application is requesting.

[lukaswalker]

I think that's a myth, who would think mobile devices are safe.

[riseagain-owgr]

Privacy is a relic. I accept that a phone is a recording/tracking device.

[MatthewHolevinski]

What no mention of the malware that doesn't reside within the OS?

[thephoenix-poit]

What gets me is those communities are not bigger than they actually are.

[Breakthrough]

I think defragmentation is the main problem why it's more common for Android devices to be affected with malware as compared to apple. As not all Android devices get updated at the same time . Google should do something about this imo. Great short tho I love your content and keep it up 💪💪

[ensarmakas]

Can they bypass usage permissions? Also, newer versions of ios and android allows user to give permissions to apps only when they are running. How safe is this?

[adriancoanda]

You can't rely infections the device cause write permissions are limited so after a reboot everything is reverted to factory.

[artizard]

are driveby downloads possible on androids/iphones?

[adriancoanda]

Smart phones are much more safer that a PC

[Sothw]

Sideload app on iPhone is hard but if possible the iPhone security will be ☠️ but not android

[alanbryanarriagaventura]

Why do I have a feeling that she’s a ai?

[simondj]

None native speaker here, I would like to ask English-speaking people, before we had 3ed party unofficial programs/apps but now in somehow everybody switched to the "sideloading" definition?
What's going on?

[easyelectronics]

Never use that camera angle again! I'll fall in love with you 😢

[rohanattackongoole]

It can get spyware trojan and other stuff but it can't get malware or virus it can only steal data it can't mess with your system because it's not accessable even by the user but it can get them if you have root

"Or even record audio to spy on their target" - Like Google's suite of applications, for example. How else will Gboard know what emoji to suggest the next time you start typing a new text message?
