- This article makes the case for yes: http://www.techspot.com/news/64839-increasing-number-internet-dangers-driving-millions-americans-offline.html
- But ... "millions"? We collectively call BS
- As the world moves more to mobile and digital, who thinks they have 'control' of their own data anyway?
"Sandjacking" allows attackers to install evil iOS apps
- IF that attacker is physically holding your device
- AND your device is unlocked
- AND it takes a while because you have to backup, and restore a phone ... one app at a time
