The report shows the theft of a lorry driver's phone left inside his vehicle in São Paulo and the loss that followed, with loans and transfers made in the victim's name through the banking apps on the device. Security camera footage records the offender in action, and the report notes that navigation apps keep the screen unlocked while in use, making access to the device easier. The forensic expert explains that once the device is already unlocked, access to the accounts becomes possible, and recommends alphabetic passwords instead of a pattern, banking apps always logged out, a separate number for banking links and the native locking routines on iOS and Android.

The interview is in Portuguese. The summary above is in English.
