Downside of android

A few pages of ‘which phone is more secure’. Did all of you get your phone from a vetted supply chain? Because there are some recent cases where that wasn’t the case.

Im sure very few cases but some people have a problem with anything they purchase. :unsure:
The vast majority of Americans buy Apple devices from reputable sources, its a tight knit supply chain.
Im am sure with Android that is impossible to police with a dozen or so brands of muliple models produced on every corner of the earth.
Just because I am saying that I do not believe I would EVER consider, if I bought an Android phone that it would be that the security of the device itself would be concern of mine. The danger to download something might be. We are really taking a stretch here with this conversation. Im sure most in here are not part of the Royal Family or any high level employee of president of any country where that would be a concern.

Meanwhile the security and privacy options of iOS is published from sources all over. I think some sources mentioned in this thread.
But it's an easy search for anyone who wants to read. Android or iPhone, which is more secure.

Guy got an email from one of the vendors. The email address was normal, but he caught it bcs hacker wrote to William and he knew this guy called him Bill like everyone does … 👀 wide open !

No links touched - It got reported and the account replaced …
 
Check this out - highly illegal - I got a scam in the US Mail. Looked official.

Some supposed health care company was hacked, go to THIS website and enter all your private and credit card information for "protection". Pretty slick really. Older People (yeah....me) still think sometimes it's necessary to read and type in a URL. They probably have a juicy ton of victims

This was last week...I don't remember the company name......crud. I bet someone turned them in.

large companies that get breached offer free credit monitoring that's the one clue i would need its SCAM.

It's not a scam if it looks like below. There was a huge breach for a health care processing company, wife and I have the letters. Now have to go find them, we have been side tracked by other events in our lives and I forgot about this.
Typically hackers would want to avoid mail fraud and letters are very traceable, all mail is scanned in the USA before it reaches our homes.

If it's about "Change Health Care" it's legitimate and a web search will show that. I just started a thread on it.

It wasn't "Change." We both got that one as well. (my gripe with them is not of the scam variety, more of "why do we have so many companies in involved with our data, that I have never heard of") I will check your thread out.

This was a Greek letter name, but not Alpha......dang it I was shocked that it came in the mail, right on the heels of Change Health Care.
