Our digital overlords - Motorola

Cripes -- from Ben Lincoln writing at Beneath the Waves:
Motorola Is Listening
In June of 2013, I made an interesting discovery about the Android phone (a Motorola Droid X2) which I was using at the time: it was silently sending a considerable amount of sensitive information to Motorola, and to compound the problem, a great deal of it was over an unencrypted HTTP channel.
A lot more at the site complete with screencaps and information on how to see this on your own Motorola phone. This is a huge breach of security. Caveat #1) -- this is not happening* with all Motorola phones but still Caveat #2) -- '*' - that we know of... Posted by DaveH at July 2, 2013 1:02 PM
