So, since the brands play their part to protect you, there are measures required on your part to avoid falling victim: - It is essential that you continually update your device with the latest and most secure operating system. - Don't give allow-permissions to apps you don't recognize as 100% legitimate. - Wipe the device clean by resetting it to factory settings before disposing of it.
