I lost my iphone yesterday while at the post office. That in itself sucks enough, but I'm wondering how much I may have compromised myself in doing so.
I knew within 5 minutes that it was gone, went everywhere I had been, and for the next hour was calling it constantly. No answer. left messages. Nothing.
Realizing that there was certainly potential compromising information on that phone such as websites visited, access to my email which would contain orders i've made, I called AT&T and disconnected service within an hour of losing it. Also changed my email password.
But there still is potentially compromising info on that phone. My 'contacts' for one. Text messages. Nothing too revealing but a smart person might realize I 'hang out' with a lot of people for specific periods of time. 'Hour' 'Half Hour' etc. Also, I'm pretty sure I erased all (but maybe not) bud shots or shots of seed packs from it. If there is anything it is only a couple pic among a hundred others stored on it.
I learned a lot from this. Your phone is a computer and must be protected. I will have no pics of this part of my life on my new phone. Also I'm getting the app installed that will remotely erase anything and everything in the case it is stolen.
A part of me thinks the chances are someone took it, will erase whatever is on it, and will either try to sell it or use it themselves. But on the other hand I find I can't get the possible scenarios out of my head of what could happen because of this.
Your thoughts?
