How much of your phone is yours?
18.05.12

Most of us use smartphones for more than we realize. They are the center of our social lives, our direct communication tool for friends and family, and increasingly the tool for entertainment on-the-go. For many people, it’s the first thing that you see when you wake up and the last thing you see when you go to bed. A significant amount of information about you passes through those little plastic, glass, and silicon boxes. A constant concern for the security-conscious among us is, “How secure is the information we share with our smartphones?”
Security researcher Trevor Eckhart has had something of a recent history making people aware of mobile phone vulnerabilities. Eckhart’s recent discovery of the HTC vulnerability that allowed for a potentially malicious app to hop on your mobile data connection and grab network information, possibly even ruin your 4G connection , gave the company cause to stop and fix some of their bugs. Now, Trevor points his talents at a more significant threat to personal information.
