You know that nifty remote wipe function that takes all the photos off your phone when it gets lost? Turns out criminals know about it too, and they're using it to wipe phones taken by police as evidence.
The BBC has heard from a few UK forces that report some of the mobes and tablets they've taken in as evidence have been remotely wiped.
Apparently, Brits have been able to establish connections with their confiscated devices and, using the remote management tools offered by vendors, wiped their mobes 'n' slabs in order to remove evidence
