    First order of business: never enable the thumbprint lock on your phone.

    Second order of business: never conduct any sensitive business or communication with a mobile phone.

    Third order of business: use a very strong passphrase to lock your phone.

    Fourth order of business: understand that all your phone calls and text messages are hoovered up into spook databases.
