Hello guys,
I am even worse off. I have no idea about computer technology outside being a consumer of it. To be very honest, I am just realizing how uncomfortable I am with having such little information and education about what goes on behind the screen. My questions I feel will be quickly answered by accredited and simply educated members of such a forum and community as this one.
I am hoping that gents and ladies of this tech community will freely advise, for now I am blind to advances in security and how to effectively and without obsession, go beyond the normal behavior of most consumers. I no longer wish to be a complete victim to my devices, while still being able to advance with them.
May I ask my first question pleeeeease. What thread would I go to and ask about this concern:
I recently noted while signing on with a voice mail service, that my cellphone can receive a call from an outside party that is actually a command to interact with my phone. One ring and a disconnect and they are in. I would like to know a little more about how this works, in laymans terms if possible. How many styles of this dial in command are available for remote control of devices? And mainly, should cellphone users be more concerned?
