In what ways have mobile applications helped criminals and their criminal activities?

Answer: Mobile technology has become a powerful tool in the fight against crime. Smartphones are
the main victims of cybercrime. This is because they hold detailed information about our personal
health. Confidential information such as photos, bank account details, location, and other data are
handled by our devices.
Think of all the information collected and stored about you on your phone (or in the IoT device age,
things like your fridge). Your phone, among all your apps, knows almost everything about you —
where you go and who you talk to when you use your phone, and more. So for criminals, anonymity
is important (which does not mean anonymity is only for criminals).
