Sorry to hear that happened to you. Being online is definitely risky. Even if you are careful with how you protect your computer and phone, your identity could be compromised if your, bank, insurance company, department store etc are hacked.
Even the police now have the ability to intercept cell phone transmissions. I think they are called stingrays and they are basically a device that spoofs a tower. Your cell phone connects and if you aren't encrypted they can see everything you are doing.
Hello my friend, yes you are right about those stingray things - they are even mounting them onto drones and flying them over cities. I keep nothing on my phone or computer anymore. I will not risk downloading anything and any photos of texts I store them off line and then delete them from my phone. The real risk is all the phone numbers of friends and relatives the are stored on there. I am working on having a little note boot for phone numbers instead of having them on the iPhone. It seems the old ways are becoming more secure. Nice to hear from you @canadianrenegrade.
Hey @arthuradamson, I nominated you for the #sevendaybnwchallenge. My other nominees for some reason did not get a notification when I tagged them so you may not have either. I hope you are up for the challenge and I am sure with your talents they will be worth checking out.
Hey thanks, I will have a look into it, cheers!
