An average phone connects to over
160 different IP addresses during
the day, with about a third of
the information flowing in and out
of a phone unencrypted (SMS,
some emails, etc.).
90% of the Android apps set the allowBackup
flag to true which can allow an attacker to
backup the app folder and recover private
data from it.
Cookie without secure flag is a common
configuration issue in iOS which leads to
security vulnerabilities.
