First I had seen of it.

Came up in a Google new article - this one: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-indus ... controller

An "OM.G cable" basically a bog standard USB cable that can log what is passing through it, connect itself to watch football and all sorts of dodgy stuff!

Worrying

[myglaren]

One of my grandsons was 23 today.
I shoved a card through his door last night for him to find as he left for work this morning and scheduled an email for 08:00 this morning.

Was going to text him as I wasn't sure if he still used the email address and when I opened the phone, there was the email in the text thread, unsent.

The email account is not linked to my phone.

Since Google altered the spy in the sky tracking it is all but useless.

There should be no connection between this and your email accounts on the phone Steve

Indeed but the phone and all three accounts 'know' each other although only one is supposed to be connected. I don't use the phone for email, too fiddly, only Google Maps.
