Ever connected your phone to a car? Your private information is not safe if you have. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has purchased iVe vehicle forensics kits that allow it to view phone data from car infotainment systems without a warrant.
Data that can be seen with the iVe kits includes navigation history, SMS messages, emails, and pictures. Additionally, the kits can retrieve deleted data and “Identify known associates and establish communication patterns between them.” One of the most eye-opening aspects is just how much information is recorded by a vehicle when simply connecting a phone to it, allowing your private data to be accessed long after you’ve gone.
