Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn’t permanently installed on a phone.

    That is not true. Many attacks (e.g. the recently revealed Operation Triangulation) do not have persistence.

      Yup, a lot of very sophisticated mobile malware does not have persistence. His advice holds up.
