No matter the risk, I must carry my smartphone everywhere and install every app. It would be unimaginable to have the urge to look something up, but then wait to do it later until I'm using a real computer. No negative outcome will EVER shake my deep, permanent need to carry a smartphone all the time and use it for as much as possible.

- thewebguyd 7mo agoIronically, the exploits in this leaked kit all involved flaws in webkit, so you'd have been safer sticking to native apps assuming they didn't have any webviews in them to load the malicious site.

- thesuitonym 7mo agoA VPN won't help you if your device is compromised. A VPN won't help you if the server is compromised. A VPN won't help you if the VPN is compromised. I really wish people would understand that VPNs are not magical, unbreakable security. VPNs are barely security at all, and commercial VPNs even less so.
- theearling 7mo agooh 100% agree here, I was just confused at the OP comments evangelism of installing and keeping his phone on his for those quick fix google searches

- diacritical 7mo agoYou forgot the urge we all share to store all our login information on our phone, to exclusively use it for banking, to take and store all our sensitive photos and videos, to exclusively use it for any kind of communication, to keep the microphone and camera intact and to leave our phone on 24/7 next to us. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen with an internet connected closed down device that holds all our information and has a microphone and camera? People must be just paranoid.
