Be aware of mobile security breaches

The growing incidents of mobile phone security breaches are now reaching more serious connotations.

The UK has had its problems with security this past year, with government officials losing data on hundreds of thousands UK citizens, and it is hoped lessons have been learnt and systems put in place to prevent these occurrences happening again.

Just recently however, the extent of mobile phone breaches has come to attention with stolen mobiles being planted at the site of bomb attacks to deflect blame from the real perpetrator, in India.  http://bit.ly/cVveHd

Additionally, Rahul Ghandi, the Congress General Secretary, had his mobile stolen from his baggage, after check-in by out-sourced baggage handlers.  The perpetrators were only caught after CCTV footage was used to uncover the crime.  It appears, for lesser mortals travelling through some of India’s airports this could be a regular occurrence, but would go unreported due to ‘no celebrity’ status!

What is more serious however, is the amount of information that Mr Ghandi held on his phone – a potential for disaster if fallen into the wrong hands.
