INNOCENT LOOKING TRASHCANS HAVE WI-FI AND COLLECT YOUR IPHONE DATA

A new line of ‘spy trashcans’ has been rolled out that furthers the international agenda to track and collect your personal data at every turn.

 

In the past we’ve seen politicians revealing that various electronics like your television and computer can spy on you at any time using special built-in hardware, but now even the most basic items are being turned into tools of the surveillance state. In fact, they don’t even have to be electronic in the first place.

 

And such is the case with the new ‘spy trashcans’, rolling out just recently into the streets of London for beta testing.  Utilizing Wi-Fi technology within the infrastructure of the now tech-equipped trashcans, new ‘Renew Pods’ spy trashcans have been placed throughout the financial district of London. The trash cans actually go ahead and utilize their internet connectivity to collect information from your smartphones without your permission (or any form of warning).

OK, so they got caught.  But governments have a much better chance of placing stealth data-stealing devices anywhere they want.  The misuse and abuse of this technology has only just begun.
