I know it’s an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn’t have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn’t be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.
Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?
Uhm, I don’t care about the device or the SIM card?.. I care about my data, and I care about remotely wiping the device before they can try access the device if they are even trying to access it in the first place?
Sure they can turn it off, but if I activate the command to wipe the device the command will execute as soon as the device is powered on.
This is not the case if they remove the SIM. If they remove the SIM the connect is lost and the device can remain on and be tampered with, with my data still entact.
I don’t “keep asking for proof” I literally asked in one comment? You seem very angry about people asking questions online, maybe you should do some introspection or something idk
It’s still possible to prevent you wiping the phone with the sim in. Admittedly that would work most of the time but all that’s needed to change that is a someone watching the right YouTube videos and spreading the word.
If your phone is encrypted and has the correct security settings then your data isn’t vulnerable. Unless it’s a government agency or something like an APT. If that’s the case there’s little you can do besides not keeping any valuable data on it.
It’s unlikely they care about your data though. Not unless you’re wealthy enough to be bribed. The main concern for them is getting caught by tracking, depending on how much law enforcement cares.
What makes you think I’m angry?
