The newly created, often overtly political app places the Trump administration into unprecedented and “dangerous” territory, IT experts say.

    This is a rage bait headline for the masses who don’t understand what it means to have a work-issued phone.

      Not really. It’s still a massive security threat, even if you leave it in the office.

        I suppose for some people it could be a security threat to leave their phone unattended, but if the office isn’t secure, none of their data is necessarily secure with physical access

              Well I wasn’t talking about the phone being stolen as the threat. The phone is the threat.
