The secret life of your phone
How criminals and corporations use hidden software to control smartphones without the owners’ knowledge. Malware and bloatware are two of the tools that are used, but there are steps you can take to keep your phone safe. This week we’re in Nigeria and Kenya to meet mobile malware victims, those seeking to educate about cyber hygiene, and an activist pushing for more privacy and data protections on cheap devices. Thanks for listening. Let us know what you think. #TheComb Get in touch: thecomb@bbc.com Produced by Rob Wilson
