We like to concentrate on all of the style and design, functions, programs and high-end camera abilities on smartphones, but that doesn't mean we just forget about security and safety. Protecting your personal information or data safe is of very importance.
Smartphones may be our most private gadgets - we carry them anyplace, and they know more about our lives than our closest buddies - but they were never built with protection or privacy in mind.
Smartphones are essentially bad for personal privacy. You've actually got a tracking gadget in your pocketbook, pinging off cell towers and locking onto GPS satellites. All the while, the handset's personal details connection ensures that tracking cookies, advertising IDs, and usage stats follow you around the net. The applications we install and use harvest a lot of data like the flashlight app that needs access to your personal contacts and the cellphones themselves are just as vulnerable to hackers and malware as PCs, but more difficult to protect.
