Encryption is good
This has been known for a long time, but here is an easy-to-understand demo. You should talk to your provider to ensure that all your communications over your cell is encrypted.

Re: Encryption is good
Wow.
They say that has been addressed by provider (Verizon). How do you ensure all transactions encrypted? Is that an added service?

Re: Encryption is good
call your provider. The technology allows it, but it may require that they set a flag on your phone or account. I'm double checking with ATT since that was a condition of my contract (corp account with encryption specified).

Re: Encryption is good
Never scan upc codes on your phone and shut off location services. I doubt the level of encryption we are really getting on a phone and txt. So easy to take over devices that are Bluetooth enabled. The big gotcha is hijacking the device and then when you sync it, the computer is not infected for APT attack.
