Sneaky Phone Downloads
Manage episode 428185997 series 3009097
Your smart phone keeps busy, even when you're not on it. Apps are constantly downloading data–thumbnails, ad content, new posts–at a surprising frequency, even when you're not actively using the app. These downloads can lead to your download data making it look like you're using your phone when you're not.
In this episode, I pull a story from my days in mobile forensics to show just how this constant downloading could get you in trouble one day, and how you can avoid such a fate.
