Help regarding securing an Android phone
Today, a woman sitting next to me on the train asked to use my phone to call her husband because the recharge in her's had expired, so I let her use it (probably not the brightest thing to do, I know :bigkek: ). So she called her husband's number and tapped like once or twice on the screen to disconnect the call and stuff, and then gave it back to me. So there have been many cases where people ask for others' phones to make calls and then connect some hardware component to it to steal data or clone the SIM. She didn't insert anything into it as far as I could see, but I just wanted to check after she gave it back. So I checked the app list to see if there were any unknown apps (there weren't). Then I checked the permissions overview for all apps and it was the same as before. Ran a security scan with McAfee and no issues were reported. Considered using adb debugging with logcat to see if it could show previous audits, but haven't got around to it yet. Is there anything else I need to do or anything I've overlooked?
