This is very sound advice for anyone who wants to feel more secure about their surroundings and mobile devices.
People underestimate the spying potentially of mobile phones very often. They are always on, have a data connection, and run software that is abysmal for security.
- tsimionescu 6y agoI would bet that at least an iPhone is much safer than a regular company laptop in 90% of companies. It is quite likely safer than the internal network. Security is often a second rate citizen in most companies. Also, strict security practices that affect productivity often get worked around - for example, if I want to examine a diagnostics archive I got by mail on my phone, but the IT policy won't let me, I may well forward it to my personal mail, open that though Firefox, and get the archive this way. It's much worse for overall security, but pretty hard to prevent, and less important to me when I get a call about blocked builds at 10 o'clock.
