[@Sumsubcom]

How many phones have you lost that way? lol

[@iyeetsecurity922]

@@Sumsubcom Me personally, one. It was one of the early _"Droid"_ phones. I've had one friend lose their phone that way too, and another friend by asking someone to take their picture.

[@Zaptosis]

@@iyeetsecurity922 Well I'm an athletic male, I highly doubt anyone is going to be getting away from me.

[@iyeetsecurity922]

@@Zaptosis Sure. If you're _prepared_ for such a thing happening. You'd most likely be quite shocked by what'd just happened and not react immediately which gives them a decent head start. This was back when everyone didn't own a phone and even the most basic of "smart phones" weren't considered affordable like now, and that brought rise to a criminal market of stolen phones. The majority of instances such as this weren't random occurrences. Criminals that knew the area well etc were the ones doing this mainly in tourist heavy areas.

People have asked me to use my phone because their phone ran out of battery and died, to which I offer to loan them a charging cord so they can charge their phone for a few minutes to a usable percentage. All of them said no and skulked off. That's fishy behavior. A person whose phone really _did_ die would be grateful to use a kind stranger's charging cable and patient enough to wait through the charging process.

[@leo.6559]

​@@keepyoursins The channel is targeted at consumers, the company's product at businesses. I really like the videos, but I still haven't figured out what their goal with this channel is. It cannot be advertising their product (they never did anyways).

Unfortunately quality does not imply return of investment (growth) quantity on youtube. I've seen some horrendous Indian channels with not just poor videography but outright dangerous & incomplete electrician tips having millions of views & over a million subscribers. It seems to do a lot about how much your viewership can relate to you. These guys recording handheld smartphone videos with zero edits get more views. Hey but the world was never fair anyway.

[@homosapien5156]

Intruders creating fake evidence of involvement in a crime was something I got to know about a few years back. In India, in a case called the Bhima Koregaon case, fake evidence was planted in the computers of tribal activists and they were taken in custody on the basis of that forged evidence. By the time they got bail, one of the accused died in prison.

[@541vb]

Mom with a toddler came up to my in the NYC subway and asked me to make a call because her phone had died. She was practically begging going “I’m not gonna do anything I’m with my kid” so I let her because I felt a little bad, but I was so suspicious the whole time. I think I did *67 but she just said “oh he’s not answering thanks anyway.”

[@Sumsubcom]

These situations should be extra suspicious; might not have even been her kid!

[@laloweed]

Can you make a video on what to do if your information got stolen? Like govt issued IDs, online credentials, etc. I think this would be useful since the majority of the population has their information exposed to an extent.

[@Sumsubcom]

Interesting, let me chat with the team and think about what we can do.

[@lowwastehighmelanin]

First or second episode of Mr. Robot, Elliot uses someone's phone to hack them more easily. Very common. I've genuinely never let anyone use my phone except my kid and the one time I let her she locked me out of it for several hours. So now no one uses it. Ever.

[@Gaven7r]

This channel is still an underrated piece of gold! I already knew how easy was to put our data on vulnerable situations, but I never really realized how quickly it could be compromised!

[@Yezpahr]

Emily's acting was up to par with your regular quality. Another enjoyable and educative video. I had a weird thing happen to me that I still have no explanation for. A mobile number starting with the same 3 digits as mine called me and said I had called him and he simply pressed "call back". I think he was honest. Later I get another phonecall with the same 3 starting digits but this time I heard a Spanish tape recording, or at least I think it was Spanish, asking me to press buttons. I hung up instantly and am still as clueless as I was back then.

[@jeffbrownstain]

Your phone number was used in a scam as a forwarding number, the original answerer did not respond, called 'you' back, and due to likely poor configuration on the call proxy, when you answered the call the proxy was rerouted back to you making the scammer call you.

[@Yezpahr]

@@jeffbrownstain Ah, so that's an attack I can't really prevent since my phone number is out there already. I'll be a bit more careful on the next number, thanks for your time/explanation.

[@nocturne7397]

Some phones have Sandbox environments ("Guest user" or "Kid's space"), in which you can allow only certain apps. For example, a secondary private browser, calculator, or sandboxed camera for when someone wants your phone to take a few photos. Whenever a friend or an acquaintance asks for your phone, turn on the sandbox mode, and they won't be able to access anything you haven't permitted (files, settings, other apps). Just make sure to set a strong password to prevent them from exiting the sandbox. Also, DISABLE USB and WIFI DEBUGGING! It's so easy to take someone's phone and with a few clicks establish a wireless ADB connection from a laptop.

Hey guys! I love your channel and I actually had something happen to me the other day that I couldn't explain or even find an answer on. I was bombarded with about 700-800 spam emails, subscription subs, etc. over the course of about 40 minutes that all made it past the spam filter. Concurrent to this, my cell phone was receiving multiple spam text messages. After about 40 minutes or so, it all stopped, texts and emails. I was a little freaked out to say the least. Everything seemed secure afterwards, but I still feel like I may be missing something here. If anyone knows, it's you guys! What the heck happened?

[@svetlananana9609]

Someone finally answered the mystery to those annoying "delivery SMS" I am getting. I knew it was some kind of scam, but not which I didnt buy anything, so I can not have something being delivered to me.... Is it of any use to block them numbers? It's always different ones and so many

[@markpetersen290]

I don't block them, because that's as ineffective as blocking spam callers. They spoof numbers so it literally does nothing. What I have instead is the generic spam detection Google offers enabled. It isn't perfect but it filters most of them. If it misses one, a big mistake is to open the message or mark it as read. When you do that, they are that you saw it, when, where you were, and what device you have. So just label it spam so googles spam detector gets better. It sucks at detecting spam calls, so I have a 3rd party app do that for me

[@Jan12700]

That's why you should always have an old Nokia phone with you. There is nothing important on it, you can put a prepaid card in it, the battery lasts forever and you can just use it to just make calls (and play snake xD)

That is why the lock-in option for iPhone is an option. Like you can lend someone your phone and lock it on the app or site they need to use. If they need to contact someone then lock your iPhone to only contacts. The person cannot get out of the app.

[@sbcinema]

It's good that I don't use a smartphone, with my old prepaid Nokia from the 90s I'm far safer...

[@paullabossiere5239]

there should be a valet key to phones. like you know how you can dial emergency numbers without a password, you should have a loner password for basic features like secured hotspot and telephone usage. that way you could lend a phone after removing your sim and let them use the sim from their dead phone if they needed to make a long distance call or download a massive file. the valet mode could timestamp everything in case you needed to explain yourself to investigators.

[@cori1302]

That is a great idea. You should make a business plan for that!

Photo of the shop I visit for Chinese food (so I know the phone number), Photo of some python code I wrote (for quick reference), Windows error messages, my cat under my bed, empty freezers at the supermarket (covid shortage) Of course this can release where I shop, where I buy Chinese food and where I live (cat) by the meta data.
