My class reader will discuss the security of your mobile devices. I came across an article that discusses security experts concerns with the soon to be released Apple Watch. Security experts already have a problem with Apple, as there is an app that can turn your Iphone into a bugging device. (http://www.csoonline.com/article/2880753/mobile-security/new-ios-spy-app-listens-in-to-conversations.html) There is an app that when downloaded on to your phone, the hacker can record all conversations near the phone. This was believed to be designed to eavesdrop on political figures, foreign dignitaries and industrial competition. Apple is aware of the app and in the latest version of Ios8 it will appear as a downloaded app, however if you are using an earlier IOS there is no way to know that app is on your phone. As for the watch, it must be in close proximity to your Iphone in order to work. Security experts are concerned, there is 2 points of possible entry. One being the wifi connection and the second is the bluetooth. The third question for Apple is are all of the 3rd party Apps trustworthy. Another issue is many work places are now banning smartphones in areas with confidential information. I work for a mortgage company and have access to many celebrities private information and it is strictly forbidden to have any phone with a camera on it on your desk. Lastly security experts believe the watch will allow more vulnerability to hackers gaining access to Iphones. I own an Iphone, so I found this interesting and I also researched if Android has similar issues and they do. (https://blogs.mcafee.com/consumer/major-browser-vulnerability-found-on-android)

Questions:

1. Do you have personal info on your phone, that would be upsetting if it got out? for example Credit Card info, etc?
2. Do you feel safe that your info is protected?
3. Does this make you any more or less interested in purchasing an Apple Watch?
