I have a Galaxy Tab 3 that I have recently taken to China and used online there. Given the amount of hacking and general espionage of China and the risks involved, I was wondering the best way of completely wiping it?
I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry when connecting it to my home network. All online sources state to simply encrypt, factory reset, rewrite, and factory reset again, but I was wondering if this would be able to completely remove any malware, viruses, etc. that I could have gotten in China. Could the malware be hidden in the kernel and need other methods to be removed?
Thanks for any help.
(P.S. Please message me if this is the wrong forum for this. I don't normally frequent here.)
