Some cell phone security tip reminders
Posted by JanetK_CA of CA on 7/13/24 4:27pm Msg #648836
I just came across this page that I'd saved for future reading and thought it might make a good refresher on cell phone security:

http://www.rd.com/article/things-to-never-store-on-your-smartphone/?trkid=soc-rd-facebook

I wouldn't consider this the ultimate source on this issue, but it does offer some food for thought. One other thing that made me think about posting it here is that there were several mentions about extra care with things stored in 'the cloud'.

That immediately brought to mind RON and saving videos of notarizations (and I wonder what else) in 'the cloud'. Does anyone know if data is stored about each transaction or is it just video? If so, does that vary from platform to platform and state to state? For example, do they store any ID info, document details (at least some would likely be required for journal entries in some states), or document content? I don't recall ever seeing these issues addressed.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around what individual records of each notarization would look like, including journal entries, and how that works - just for my own understanding, since it won't be legal here for a long time.

I'm also thankful today that I don't use AT&T as my cell phone provider after them just releasing info yesterday about a major cell account data hack that apparently occurred back in April. I do use them for my internet access, though, which could also be a concern. (I believe I received something months ago from them offering ID protection service, but what I heard wasn't nearly as bad as what news reports yesterday said about cell phone accounts.)
