Do you have a Samsung phone? Well, according to a new report it’s using tech which can spy on what you’re reading and watching online. O! And monitors the emails in your inbox as well.
>According to the Sun, the phones switch onto spy mode after they are alerted by a “beacon” often embedded in web pages or sent as an ultrasonic signal hidden in telly or online adverts. Jim Killock, Executive Director of Open Rights Group warned that “Samsung want to get to know you – but they are behaving like a peeping Tom”. He added: “Samsung have taken spying on their customers to a whole new level. “What you can’t see, and can’t hear, won’t worry you — or so it hopes. “It needs to own up and switch it off before their customers wise up and ditch them.” If you use a Samsung phone, it’s likely that you’ve already agreed for the phone maker to snoop on you.
>The Korean manufacturer makes reference to it on several pages in on its privacy policy. It writes: “We, along with certain third parties, also may use technologies called beacons or pixels that communicate information from your device to a server. “Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos and emails and allow a server to read certain types of information from your device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon and the IP address of your device.” They explain that they are doing this for a “variety of purposes” including to analyse how the phones are being used and “to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you”.

You can't use a modern phone. In fact, you have to avoid most consumerist "technology". And stuff like this will continue getting pushed more and more in the years to come, because consumers support it blindly and willingly.

I wish smartphones had come about earlier so we would have phones with no botnet.
