- illumin8 15y agoYou should read the article. Apparently any app that you give permission to use the Internet can leak all your data. Are you absolutely positive that every single free app you download is safe?
- aw3c2 15y agoI only let apps I trust access the internet.
- chico_dusty 15y agoHow does that help when your firewall can leak the very same data?
- mindslight 15y agoAt least with droidwall, non-whitelisted apps are perfectly able to connect to local ports (in fact I've got a few apps that don't get internet access, and instead get ssh port forwards). And it looks like (at least on CM) non-whitelisted apps can make DNS queries as well (so they can still send the data home).
