I however note that the statement in mentioning the mischief that the gadgets were meant to remedy i.e counterfeit phones failed to mention the absolute capability of the said device. The Authoritiy has not expressly stated that the device is incapable of performing the alleged actions. The only way to ease the state of panic over the whole affair is for a technical audit to be carried to determine what the said gadgets are capable of so that rest easy that our privacy is guaranteed!

Hello Listers.

Please see the statement from CA regarding the Device Management System that is under deployment. We hope listers shall objectively engage and seek to understand what the regulator is doing in the interest of the public. Media reports on this were misleading, but be rest assured we shall continue to engage all stakeholders so that they can be in full picture.

Regards,

Rachel
