In addition to this, don't keep private (and certainly not illegal) data on a compute device that you walk around with. Maybe, just maybe, treat that device as compromised from the start and treat it accordingly.
The idea of using them as secure devices should probably stop, at least until they are actually secure. Moreover, if you're committing crimes, maybe don't record them in a way that is recoverable. Not that you should necessarily be a criminal but, if you're going to be a criminal, you should probably be a safe criminal.
Don't text me saying you need a G for the yayo. The cops know what that means.
- SirZimzim 9y agoWhy carry a smartphone then? Current tech doesn't allow for regular users to secure their data in this fashion. I mean you'd have to completely log out of something like Dropbox even if you managed to keep your data remote.
- KGIII 9y agoThere are plenty of uses that don't require you to give them as much trust as people do. I'd never suggest banking on a smartphone, but people do. I'd use a separate email, just for the smartphone. I'd not store medical data on there. I'd not put private data on there. That doesn't mean they are useless, just that I consider them compromised right out of the box. I treat it accordingly and will recommend others do the same until they are much more secure. They are great for lots of things. Privacy and security are not among those things.
