1 S t r o n a 1 Introduction This article is informative, it is routed to the secondary school students - can be a reminder of issues raised in middle school. Texts and multimedia materials are to encourage consumers to responsible use of modern electronic devices and see the opportunities offered by the modern world information. The main objective of this paper is to get to reflect on issues concern in the safe use of mobile phones. Phone in everyday life Today's device, called a mobile phone, has become part of our lives. Mobile phones are getting faster, smarter, offering more and more opportunities, collect and also contain a huge amount of data - have become thus more private than a diary. If we think about a man who writes a diary we will not find such an individual who saves every step with an accuracy of several centimeters in GPS coordinates, makes notes of every call with a neighbor and his wife, leads a list of all the shops and places with dates and exact time that has ever visited, he could not do it all by sleeping with his eyes closed. If anyone ran this kind of diary that could not be a man. Man as an author of an ordinary diary has some limitations, tends to forget, describing events from their own perspective sometimes bends the real image, the data are not purely synthetic, only by using equipment developed by himself can specify and specify it to the data e.g. using numbers. Today, we can feel happy, modern personal devices, such as mobile phones, do all the diary work for us and are faster and more accurate. What would we do if our diary fell into the hands of others, or if our records were available to the public? Surely it would not be the nicest experience. Diary is usually very private, can contain any details of our intimate life, and other people but also contain thoughts relating to events or other people. There are, of course, public diaries, but it is only the author who publishes what he wants. Writing a diary we have an impact on the final shape, with mobile phones it is different.

2 S t r o n a 2 Below there are the messages associated with data leakage or theft of mobile phone users: Service reads our text messages? - authorized staff access to personal data iphone and ipad 3G record where you've been - geolocation users Most cell phones tapped? - modern phones as mobile listening devices Supermarket track you through your cell phone - how chain stores collect data about their customers. It should be taken into account the possibility of identifying the client during the payment by the credit card at the counter even if the information collected is "anonymous" The history of the life of the policy based on data from the cellular network (English) - German politician Malte Spitz demanded their data collected by mobile telephony (in accordance with applicable German law). Based on these data the journalists from the newspaper Zeit Online reconstructed half a year of his life in the form of interactive maps containing geographic coordinates along with the places of visits, length of calls, the amount of news and information about the connections with the Internet. His lecture at the TED conference can be seen in Polish as: Your phone operator looks. Microsoft collects locations of Windows phone users (English) - Microsoft collects information on phone users with Windows. As the reader has already noticed that with the development of mobile phone technology and making their capabilities close to computers their susceptibility to the same risks as users of PCs and laptops also increased. In addition, the amount of sensitive data together with the potential participation of third person in their acquisition increased. It does not matter who or what is in the possession of these data, the problem is prone to leaks and hazards associated with the unauthorized use. If a full-fledged institution with access to such a vast amount of information about us one question appears: who watches the ones who are being watched?

3 S t r o n a 3 Geographical coordination cell phone 1.) Morning excursion of Mr. Kowalski. The example of Mr. Smith on morning walk: the cell phone works by broadcasting the location to find the nearest BTS station, communication with three stations adjusts and determines the location of your phone on a map. Since then, the moving camera reports to the station so that it can be found in case of the broadcasting the data / connection with another phone. The walk of Mr. Smith does not lie in the beauty of nature and architecture of the buildings, but with the GPS coordinates. BTS stations record any request for the position and all connections with the cell, the data are sent to the central unit which is the main element listing call phones and other types of data. This way you can determine the exact time and the direction in which our hero was moving and communicating. 1

4 S t r o n a 4 How to take care of your privacy by using a mobile phone? Android Phones - sent SMS should be encrypted with available programs such as: Whisper Text Secure On the manufacturer's website, there are other useful applications such as: RedPhone (to encrypt conversations) WhisperMonitor (firewall - filtering a call with the phone). DroidWall - other filtering software. FireFox with the NoScript extension should be installed in order to prevent our device from side scripting of web pages. There is also the possibility of the so-called "Rooting" phone which is a way to gain access to extended functions. Root in English is the lowest part of the tree, here it is an account that has administrative rights to manage the core processes of the system. "Rooting" phone has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are the likelihood of losing the warranty (we will not lose it by using eg the SuperOneClick program, or to obtain root privileges without overwriting the same system), and what happens in extreme cases, is the damage to the device. Fortunately, there are a lot more advantages: allows to get rid of producer s limitations gives you full control over the device allows the installation of improvements to the system beyond the official released date increase the speed of the device several times through better optimization of the system obtains additional virtual space eg to open a large number of programs makes it possible to incorporate a WiFi transmitter module to other devices allows the installation of programs on the memory card Co to jest rootowanie telefonu z Androidem i dlaczego warto to zrobić

5 S t r o n a 5 the ability to change the appearance of buttons, etc. option to create a backup of the entire system installation of applications not available on the device There are many methods and instructions on the Internet. It is enough to type while searching: android rooting, smart phone rooting. Of course, not just phones with Android systems offer such possibilities, just look for your phone model in the search by adding the phrase "rooting". 2) Secure phone is the one which in the hands of a thief will not allow him to get our data. A good solution offering much safer and cheaper calls is a phone with implemented possibility of talking through VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol), which is the ability to upload audio via the Internet. Usually the connection contains a combination of wireless network but also through 3G networks. It is proposed to review the proposed list of devices on this page: perhaps cheap calls are within our grasp. Phones with the systems of Android, Symbian, ios and other smart phones are

6 S t r o n a 6 capable of to adapt the service. It is enough to have just the right software to log on to the Internet VOIP gateway. On the MO-Call website you can find a list of supported phone models and software that allows you to use VOIP protocol. There are projects phones equipped with opened source operating systems based on Linux. They are in various stages of development, programming, and only partially suitable for everyday use. The only project which so far has left the drawing board is a project Open Moko. The product has achieved apart from its own software system a series of mobile devices. Unfortunately, they did not gain popularity because the prices were too high and they also had a poor advertising campaign. OpenMoko phones with the software can still be bought online. They work in the Polish mobile networks. They also have the ability to implement VOIP protocol. The reader has to wait for the successor of the OpenMoko meanwhile rooting your smart phone.
