EA Research Drives WSJ's "What They Know" Smartphone Investigation

We're pleased to announce that the Wall Street Journal has published the latest in their "What They Know" series.  This installment prominently displays the research of EA consultants.

Please have a look at the WSJ's description of our methodology before digging into the feature on wsj.com.  They have created some fantastic visualizations of the data leakage which are available on blogs.wsj.com.

EA would like to thank to Mike, Jeremy and Raj at Intrepidus Group.  Their open source Mallory proxy was critical to the success of this project.

We'd also like to thank Dan Cornell at Denim Group for his open source SmartFonesDumbApps toolset.
