My company recently began using Microsoft's Office 365 for accessing work email on a cell phone. As I was setting it up on my phone, I got this message:
"Outlook.office365.com requires that you allow it to remotely control some security features of your Android device."Hmmm, I thought, what does that mean? Reading on, it said that if I activated this software, I would be allowing Office 365 to do various things, including, "Erase all data."
Um, what?
If installed, Office 365 could, if it wanted, "Erase the phone's data without warning by performing a factory data reset."
So at any time, everything on your phone -- pictures, contacts, texts, apps, e-books -- could be completely deleted without any control by you.
Again: Why would ANYONE agree to this?
I certainly didn't.
