This week Digital Security was the topic surrounding "Thing 4". After reading the Smartphone Security Information provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office, I'd say I'm quite secure when using phones as I use pin protected passwords and o n a regular basis, I would uninstall any applications which I don't need or haven't used in a while. When downloading apps I always read reviews and ensure they are from trusted sources. I took a look through the permissions of apps on my phone. This was due a clean up, but I was quite shocked at the amount of apps that had access to my location. I would be worried about what other services have access to my data and what they are doing with it. I did n otice some permissions which I'm not too sure/happy about but most of them are needed to use the functionality they provide in app, so how do we work around that? I do admit, there have been occasions when I let apps have access to certain permissions j
