Title: North Korean Smartphones Automatically Capture Screenshots Every 5
Minutes For State Surveillance

Link: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/06/02/19421...

A smartphone smuggled out of North Korea automatically captures screenshots
every five minutes and stores them in a hidden folder inaccessible to users,
according to analysis by the BBC. Authorities can later review these images
to monitor citizen activity on the device. The phone, obtained by Seoul-based
media outlet Daily NK, resembles a Huawei or Honor device but runs state-
approved software designed for surveillance and control. The device also
automatically censors text, replacing "South Korea" with "puppet state" and
Korean terms of endearment with "comrade."
