Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer of Palantir, reveals how AI has become America’s military and industrialization superpower.

Your personal data could be collected and stored overseas — even if you never download a foreign-developed app yourself — according to a new FBI alert warning about the risks tied to popular mobile platforms.

That means information like your name, email address or phone number could be pulled from someone else’s contact list and potentially stored abroad if a friend or family member grants an app access to their device.

The warning comes after years of scrutiny over TikTok’s ties to China, but the FBI alert suggests the concerns extend beyond any single platform to a broader range of foreign-developed apps.

 

The FBI just dropped a bombshell alert exposing a chilling new risk: your personal data — from your name to your phone number — could be scooped up and stored in foreign countries without you ever downloading a single overseas app! With a spotlight on apps especially linked to China, the bureau warns that this data grab happens when friends or family grant app permissions, dragging you into a digital dragnet. Apps aren’t just spying on users—they’re mining info on non-users too, quietly collecting and storing it overseas where foreign governments might get their hands on it, turning your private info into a potential national security nightmare.
