@purism Can't imagine how many backdoors are out there that we just don't know about. Another reason I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Librem phone and making it my daily driver.
@purism the game of Google Play Store's FREE APPS.
@purism fresh install of a latest OS having no vulnerable port open can help but using Google Play Store's FREE APPs and giving all the unnecessary permissions to those APPs can get us the same issue whether we have any secure phone.
