So, when you go cafe to use their services, be sure say you no Dey give them access point by:
# Accessing their WiFi anyhow because e Dey free
Sometimes sef the risk nor be just cyber cafe again, but even people wey dey like use people hotspot well well, any small thing you dun tell person to on hotspot for you, or to give you password make you connect to e wifi, continue o! You go cry soon!

# Plugging in your device to any port via say e Dey available
Risk still follow dey when you dey allow people dey plug things to your laptop anyhow too.

When e come to the repair side:
What’s the best way to discard some of these devices way hold potential treats to our wallets, exchange and privacy concerned documents.
Sell the non essential parts like Screen, battery, speaker, mouth piece etc. Do not sell the phone as a whole.
If all these things you said are being sold off from the phone then what makes the phone usable again?
The thing is the phone has to be put in places and to functional stage so that every single information could be transferred from their to final destination so that the owner wouldn't lose their data or seedphrase.
This made me to flashed back, there was this phone I had before though it has battery problem and the space is filled up most times I might charge phone to 100% but before you knew it every disappears it turns to zero bar, what I did was to abandoned it at home and focused on my new phone. Now that I know that I have some very important inform inside the phone I wouldn't permit anyone to temper it or go lose to it because I know my privacy is there.
