Identity Theft & Fraud- Data breaches, Is your Smartphone at risk?
"Data Breaches" to national/local businesses, banks and online threats, and Smartphones are on the rise. Everyday we read about another major businesses such as Citi Bank, Sony, Google's Gmail, Epsilon, RSA Security, SecurID, Lockheed Martin all being illegal accessed by "hacktivist" (CU Info Security 6/10) and putting personal information at risk for fraud.
Federal and State laws are being enacted to assure that consumers are notified of a possible data breach in a timely fashion and encouraging consumers to check their credit reports and monitor suspicious activity on credit cards or calls about purchases being made and shipped to unfamiliar addresses.
In December of 2010, the Kaspersky Lab Security News Service posted a report called "Enterprise Mobile Security Survey",(http://www.threatpost.com/) that is an eye opener about the impact on businesses that are using Smartphones for E-commerce decisions and the lack of security software on the devices.
All sectors of business, schools, and organizations are creating "acceptable use policies -AUP" in order to make employees/users aware of how to protect their Smartphones, avoid visiting non-approved websites that may have malware or trojans that can access their systems and turning off features when not in use.
