      So what's the business of this company and its CEO? Other than trying to collect subscribers to his blog.

      Also really confusing name considering there's the Finnish security company called F-Secure who also have a technical blog:
      https://labsblog.f-secure.com/

      And now also run a security course in Helsinki University: http://mooc.fi/courses/2016/cybersecurity/

      Not a problem if you use iOS9: https://labsblog.f-secure.com/2015/09/09/apple-ios-9-security-features/
      For Android, you can root it and disable USB host functions when locked.
