Security on old phone

Meh

Well-Known Member
Hey all.

My Desire S packed up. Totally died. It got sent off for repair without me being able to wipe it and I got a new phone in it's place.

How secure should my data be? There were no personal texts or anything, but will my Google account be safe? Facebook etc?

If it's booted with no sim or a different sim it should ask for my Google password shouldn't it? So I assume it should be ok. What does the phone do if the password can't be provided?

If changed the Google password just to be safe, but what about Facebook, eBay etc?

Cheers.
 
I would change all of those passwords. I've heard stories about how people got 'refurbished' devices that still had the previous user's data on it.
