Hidden activity when you use your smartphone

Hi,

I'm that random app you installed months ago and forgot about, you never realized when installing/upgrading your permissions you gave me full access to your phone.

With your generous welcome I now get to start logging everything you do starting from time stamped geolocation, messages/call logs/photos and every action you perform. Hell if it were not illegal I would have live wiretap comms open. All this data is sent to my command & control server for archiving/indexing.

All because you didn't take 1 second to read what permissions you accepted.

Now this is what happens when you start your phone
 
The USIM could be the next article , as a follow up to this article .

Pity Android started creating less granular permission groups one may not have a choice of which permission you grant...
 
You realize that all communications(data/voice) is logged in SA right? (ISPs I think I required to too..)
 
Seriously???




:p










I just made my crayon drawing because It is a part of connectivity that is missing from the article...
 
"Hidden activity when you use your smartphone"?...

...I see it more as "No activity is hidden when you use your smartphone".
