“Once they take your device out of your sight, you should assume it’s completely compromised and they have a copy of everything that was on it, and act accordingly,” he said.
James said the incident made him rethink what he would do next time he travels out of Australia.
“I think what I’ll just do next time is as we fly into Sydney, I’ll just press the factory reset button on the phone and when they pull me up again, I’ll be handing them a fresh clean factory reset.”
"Consider the device compromised" means more than just "they have your data"
Compromised means that they will have anything you put on that device after that point. Meaning it should go straight into the shredder and go buy a new one.
Doesn't matter if its factory reset or not, it needs to go in the trash
