U.S. National Security Agency issues alert warning of risks posed by mobile and internet of things devices. Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, use a number of technologies – including GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth – to determine a user’s location. The NSA notes that providers are known to sell user data, including location data, and that a third party could intercept cellular signals using a commercially available base station. The alert offers similar warnings about apps and the type of data they can collect.”]
