Security Is Everything!
Although, I’m don’t consider myself a security expert. I have been reading blog posts about what people do and it just makes my skin crawl. Most of the time, anybody has an opinion on Android Devices
Security in your backyard!
I’m going to tell you that Androids aren’t immune, far from it. I know better than most that if we start to use the mentality like Apple Did then we are doomed from the very beginning! So why all the fuss? You might be asking. I’ve heard about a few app’s that makes me a little worried and a little concerned. I’m here to talk about them and give you enough information so you can decide for yourself.
Opera Mini — Not for me. This little app isn’t bad but it does remind me a lot like Silk browser for the Kindle Fire. Although the Kindle Fire browser will allow me to disable the feature. You will be sending all your information whether it is encrypted or not to Norway. They are basically doing a man in the middle ssl encryption and thus your information is going to be able to be viewed in Norway.
Opera Mini isn’t for me but I am not going to say that it is all bad. You have to consider what you are going to use your browser for. If you intent to do banking with your Android device than you are risking a lot. I’m sure Opera Mini has some great intentions but it still bothers me that my information isn’t secured.
Android Pit — I’ve looked into this one and it is another one that has good intentions but you have to install from Unknown Sources and then the problem with possible malware. Although it isn’t really likely, it does make me worry more about malware. If I allow this one, then I’m becoming more like a Windows User and thus I don’t want to risk having my Android Phone taken over.
Security is my #1
When I am looking to install a Rom or install something that is rooted, I am always cautious about those types of thing but I am not going to do anything to overly extreme. I’ve even started my own Computer Repair Business in hopes to earn a little extra money the next few weeks and help feed my family in Evansville, Indiana! If you know anyone who wants their computer fixed that live in Evansville, Indiana let them know about my services. If I find a problem that can’t be found, I will post it on my Computer Repair blog in the same process!
