Happy March, reader. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I need to up my phone security. I lazily use the pattern unlock feature on my Android phone, but my colleague Sam Tabahriti's story scared me.
He chatted with a woman who was locked out of her Apple account minutes after her iPhone was stolen. $10,000 was then taken out of her bank account. And Apple was "not helpful at all" when she tried regaining access to her Apple account. Yikes.
This could really happen to anyone. Her phone was stolen while she stood outside of a bar. And she thinks the thief saw her enter the passcode, then waited for an opportunity to steal the device.
Before I go change all my passwords and update my security settings, let's dive into today's tech.
