500 Million Android Smartphones Are At Risk by Techoftoday: 12:08am On May 24, 2015
Did you sell, or gave someone your Android smartphone? Whether it's a SamSung Galaxy S, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nexus, Xperia smartphone. I would advise you meet with the buyer right away and take your phone back.That's because all your text messages, emails, contacts,porn videos, pictures, Facebook and Google login details, are still sitting right there. Researchers at Cambridge University found out that the factory reset on more on 500 million Android phones running 4.3 or below(2.3) does not wipe off the sensitive information from the handset, leaving your confidential information in the hands of strangers who might do anything they like with it.
