I'm sorry, but my solution of "protecting your data" is "asinine"?

You also say that you have little way to protect your data, and then in the next sentence tell me how to do it.

Are you really trying to evaluate the situation, or are you more interested in attempting to criticize in any way that you can stretch words?



As of right now, anyone with an iPhone can have their localization data ripped from their device in less than 5 minutes via cellebrite. It could be a coworker, police office, or immigration official.

How is that secured?


You need more than 5 minutes, you also need access to the computer associated with the phone: http://www.cellebrite.com/images/stories/support%20files/App...
