Ping for insights. Hype or genuine risk?

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Every mobile phone (and new the mobile hotspot dongles) is assigned a unique IMEI number, which is printed on the inside, usually behind the battery pack. They are 15 digits in length. The phone makers allocate unique IMEI numbers to every phone, and these numbers remain unchanged once registered for the rest of its life. So even if you travel to other countries, the telecom operators can identify the Home country of the phone's sale and registration.
IMSI stands for International Mobile Subscriber Identity. The telecom company assigns a unique number assigned to the SIM card that they issue to their subscribers. The IMSI numbers are 15 digits long (not always though) and can be used to find the subscriber's country and mobile network, among other SIM-related details. It is tied to the SIM card rather than the phone itself.

And Tik Tok is only for chatting, not facial recognition, data mining, trojan downloading. And the same for Zoom.

WOW!
Thanks for posting. I’m glad I built my own drone, and hope that the open-source flight controller software I use isn’t similarly intrusive.
