Tech analyst Carmi Levy joins Shane Hewitt to unpack a new Android vulnerability that’s raising eyebrows — “pixnapping.” The exploit allows malicious apps to read a phone’s screen and capture sensitive data such as 2FA codes and messages. Though discovered by white hat hackers, it reveals just how fragile mobile privacy can be. Carmi and Shane dig into what users can do to protect themselves, why downloading unverified apps remains risky, and how popular platforms like TikTok and Instagram continue to test the limits of data privacy. It’s a sharp, practical look at the growing tension between convenience, security, and surveillance in the digital age.
