To avoid stories that touch, use your phone until it dies in your hand and then sell the functional parts.

I just checked my phone and it's say Encrypted. Does that mean i don't need to do anything again?

This is so true. I once bought a phone only to see a lot of sex vids and pics of previous user in an hidden folder.

But even at that the finest brains in info tech can still decrypt those encrypted data. It seems nothing is foolproof when it comes to information technology.

Ironically, every advancement in technology continues to demystify the word called privacy.

Learnt before you encrypt, you have to use a lock code(secret) for you to be able to decrypt. What would happen if you encrypt the phone and new user buys it. How do dey go about accessing files and folders of encrypted files without the right access code?

I agree with you. I wrote a thesis about information and system security back in my academic years. From all research, discussions and what have not I have been through over the years, I have come to understand that the only way information can be deemed to be reasonably secure is to make the cost of breaching said defence much higher than the value of the information....
