This is actually true because our mobile phones serve as portable computers. Using our phones to access the internet and some services resident online like gmail allows automatic synchronization with the same service already accessed from our computers.
Thank you @mcjoe, for confirming my statement "[t]he fact that our phones are mobile creates a whole other set of issues as we sync them to computers. (I’m no technical expert but this sounds like a potential disaster in the making.)"
Thank you too @emergehealthier for putting together such an invaluable information.
This is good advice. There are some apps like Facebook and Skype that need access to your microphone when you are doing a livestream, but when you're not, you can go into settings and withdraw permission. You just have to remember to turn it back on again when you are using it. A lot of kids apps use voice, so parents can manually allow and revoke permissions for these, too.
You are right. We just need to know what permission we are giving applications. Especially with kids some of the some of the smart toys can collect data and can be hacked.
You are so right about IoT (internet of things) toys. I won't allow them in the house unless I can find out how to change the security settings and passwords.
A vary sane advice to protect ourselves in this era of digital thieves; hackers. You have pointed right that our cell phone is really a vulnerable point where they can attack and can fetch information which may be really bad for us that may be our financial loss or whatever.
Your advice is really very simple yet very effective. We can secure ourselves by following your worthy advice. Thank you for this one.
I'm glad you found my suggestions helpful.
This post just freaked me out. My entire life is on my phone. If I were to lose it I would faint. I had a security software but deleted it when I bought a new phone that has it's own security. I think I should buy MacAfee. It's one of the best security software around. Thank you for this informative post. This could have possibly saved me from the potential cyber attack.
I'm glad you are going to protect your phone and all the valuable information it contains. I believe that we often overlook things right in front of us. We call it a phone, but hardly anyone uses it talk these days. It is a mini computer.
We do tend to overlook things forgetting that the smallest things could amount to huge consequences. A phone is a mini computer. I don't even remember when last did I buy airtime for the purpose of calling. It's always for data. Our phones have become our lives. We need to protect them and consequently protect ourselves.
