Thanks for your investigative reporting. This inquiry as to how carriers collect and utilize our data is important. It concerns me that many people feel their data is compromised already and so, do not care. Even if carriers collect our passwords, banking account numbers and browsing histories then do not use that data, the very practice of collecting and holding that data is a huge security risk. IF the carriers felt this practice wasn’t an issue, they would have provided full, upfront disclosure AND would have made the offending software visible to us on our handsets. They hid it from us for a reason!
