what your mobile phone is broadcasting

I am currently taking a free online course from a site called futurelearn.com.  This particular course is called Cyber Security.

This video was shown in one of our lessons.  I wanted my daughter to see it, as she is currently studying at a university in Bangkok and believes she is safely connecting to the "trusted" network of the on-campus dormitory she is staying, so I downloaded it and saved it to send to her.  I don't think I am doing anything immoral or illegal in passing this on to the group as it appears to be a video of a publicly aired newscast.

This is important and useful to know. On several occasions during Stefan's visits to Thailand he has shown us digital maps of who was using the WiFi at our meetings. VPN software on your device would offer a degree of protection from local snooping.

Just this morning I listened to this 15 minute podcast, which further underscores how much of our information is out there for the taking.
