Exactly. I absolutely detest the fact that my carrier can remotely activate my phone's baseband processor to conduct surveillance. Without a hardware kill switch there's basically no way to prevent this other than, perhaps, using a faraday bag.
- RandomBacon 7y agoAnd if they really wanted to, your phone could record the audio, GPS, etc and then transmit once it's out of the faraday bag.
- ISL 7y agoTo be pedantic, a sufficient Faraday cage will block GPS (but not audio, acceleration, etc...)
- RandomBacon 7y agoPerfectly acceptable; my mistake. Thanks!
- t4rewg 7y ago@RandomBacon, what mistake? It's clear you were saying, a spy app can record all the audio, gps location etc in a file, and then when the phone regains cell signal, the spy app can send out the recorded audio, gps location etc.
- taylorfinley 7y agoNot the stochastic swine, but their mistake was saying GPS signals would be logged while inside a Faraday bag. GPS signals are RF, thus blocked by any proper Faraday cage.
- jandrese 7y agoFaraday bags don't block a full spectrum. In fact they tend to be rated only for specific frequencies. GPS and GSM/CMDA/LTE are different enough that you should never assume a bag that is designed to block one will also get the other. Same with WiFi, AM/FM, Shortwave, WWVB, etc...
