I’ve heard various rumors, some of which seem to be true, such as that the phone works even when it’s turned off and maybe records all the time you’re talking, and with neural networks you can find out what you said, even if you were ten meters away from the phone and in another room, you can use the neural network to improve the sound quality and still know What did you say.
There is also information that the phone can see through objects, so gluing something to the camera will not help.
I don’t know what to do, I’m scared. Do you have any ideas on how to save myself from this if I live in the city and use my smartphone?
I an a certified mobile pentester and can tell you this is complete nonsense. There are real threats to your privacy and there are attacks that work against mobile devices. If you want to know what to do to protect yourself this EFF guide is a good place to start -> https://ssd.eff.org/playlist/journalism-student
Hello certified mobile pentester, what about secret government backdoors nsa uses to listen in on us?
I’m pretty sure I remember the EFF talking about the government BS as well.
