Posted: Thursday, November 30, 2017Information Security Awareness: Phone, Uber, Apps - Do You See It-
For many of us, our phones are the featured instrument in our own personal betrayals. Participating in modern society seems to require apps. If you want to get a ride using Uber or Lyft, you must download the app and enter private information. Want to Skip the Dishes? Again, download the app and enter private information. Maybe you've turned off your location. But your IP address also gives your location; that’s why Google can still find the local shop you’re looking for when it has the same name as a local shop in Pismo Beach, California. Do you love personal assistants like Siri, Google, and Alexa? All are voice-activated. Do you think they only record when you use their name? Guess again. You may want to consider turning off your phone when you're not using it.
