Information privacy and smart everything: Why your smart device can be a snitch

Our phones are our most personal computers, and the most vulnerable to privacy abuses. They carry personal files and photos, our contact list, and our email and private chat messages. They also are typically always left on and always connected to the Internet either over a WiFi or cellular network. Phones also contain more sensors and cameras than your average computer so they can not only collect and share your location, but the GPS along with the other sensors such as the gyroscope, light sensor, compass and accelerometer can reveal a lot more information about a person than you might suspect
