I’m not gonna say I love my dumb phone because I rarely bother to keep it charged....
Stealing data from my flip phone?!
Nevermind, I’m good. :)
Evina = Naive
I have to rely on WhatsApp which was bought out by Facebook. Click on the link for the suspected programs. Many are wallpaper and other stuff I wouldn’t use.
It would be wise to take a minimalistic attitude to apps. Don’t download every app you see.
I don’t do social apps from my cell. I don’t bank, gamble or very little else and am prolly still vulnerable.
question- if one uses an app- like say walmart app, or some other store app to purchase online with credit card, then removes the credit card from the store app after a purchase- will it be ‘relatively safe’ then? (I know the store itself will likely still have the number- even though the person deletes the card from the site- but it ‘won’t be’ as accessible to other sites then i would think?
We tried for family members who can’t get out, using gift cards, but the apps wouldn’t accept them- then tried using debit card- to limit the amount hackers could get if anything went wrong, but nope- they wouldn’t accept that either-
looking for a safe way relatively speaking for online shopping for folks that need to get delivery-
Not android, but on my computer I have Zone Alarm. Ads were coming in on the lower right side of the computer.. I wanted to find where it was coming from. Looking around I saw a little red circle on the Zone Alarm app on the computer. Clicked on it and it told me a 3rd party had used Zone Alarm for ads... and Zone Alarm had allowed it.
Not pleased at all....
google stealing personal data???
NONSENSE!!!!!!
I use my smartphone (Moto G5 Plus) for two things: making/receiving phone calls and, because I live in the country and there’s no direct broadband out here, Internet/email via the smartphone tethered to the WiFi on my computer.
That’s it. More than I could ask for.
I read articles about folks getting owned by tictok, facebook, twitter, etc. and laugh. Stupid people play stupid games.
