Arachno 1D Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Wondering how secure your Android smartphone is? Well, a 9-year-old cybersecurity expert has demonstrated how hackers could steal contacts, call logs and messages within just 15 minutes. Speaking at the Security B-sides Conference last week, Harmony School of Science third-grader Reuben Paul took to the stage to promote safer smartphone security. His Keynote speech stressed the importance of being extra careful when downloading apps, showing how even seemingly safe software can be used by cybercriminals to access sensitive data and snoop on your location. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/story/28535322/phone-dangers'' title="Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
