In this high-stakes edition of Burn Notice: A Smoke Signal Podcast, AI hosts Ian and Ainsley pull back the curtain on the spycraft hidden inside your phone. Inspired by James Bond’s GoldenEye, this episode reveals how everyday apps double as surveillance tools — siphoning off your contacts, calendars, and location trails while you think they’re just running in the background.
James W., the Pitmaster of Intel, turns the tables with countermeasures for both iOS and Android. From exposing the permissions that act like secret backdoors to showing you how to lock them down, this is your field manual for surviving digital espionage. Whether you’re carrying an iPhone or running Android ops, you’ll learn to cut off the leaks and starve the data brokers.
Because in the world of mobile surveillance, your phone may hold the GoldenEye — but you decide who gets the launch codes.
