IDENTITY UNDER ATTACK · EPISODE 22

The Phone in the Taxi

Banking apps, email, the team chat, and the app that makes her sign-in codes, all on a back seat somewhere across the city.

Identity Under Attack, episode 22: The Phone in the Taxi. Fragment 22, the phone.

The steps weren't what slowed Nina down that night. Not knowing them was.

11:35 PM. Sunday.

The taxi had gone. Nina was at her front door with her bag, her keys and an empty coat pocket.

Her phone was on the back seat, somewhere across the city.

A list of what was on Nina's lost phone: signed-in banking and payment apps, work and personal email, the authenticator app, and text messages where bank codes arrive, all protected only by a six-digit screen lock.

It was locked with a six-digit PIN, which helped. But Nina had spent months learning how much one phone can unlock.

She had Jordan's spare laptop at home from the workshop. She opened it, and for a long moment she couldn't think where to start.
