The Government of Romania: how to find out what information your phone transmits

The Romanian government sends information by phone

The Government of Romania, through the CERT-RO institution that it subordinates, offers us today a very important advice that should be carefully analyzed by millions of Romanians, regarding the way in which phones, tablets, computers transmit information based on the permissions on which we grant them.

The Romanian government comes here with a recommendation that we see made at the European level, and this is because mobile terminals are increasingly used to spy on people through installed applications, many of them asking for permissions to GPS, camera, microphone, etc. , without needing them, but transmitting data to unknown servers.

Have you recently installed a new app on your smartphone? Be careful what permissions you give them! #CERT #cyber #cybersecurity #awareness
