We give each user explicit directions to call us first then the Police so we have a shot at wiping it ASAP.

Aaron Turner of the IANS faculity is a subject matter expert in these areas and have put on a lot of talks, and the news is pretty grim atm. Basically storing any type of sensitive information on the BB, Android, Iphone, etc etc is like playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun pointed straight at your face, one of these times it isn't going to go well for you. But this is the risk that business continue to take over and over again, because the users are clammering for these devices, and the functionality they bring, but are clearly blind to the security and information disclosure aspects and how the loss, theft of data could be the business undoing.

Yep, big security issue, but if someone has physical control of your device, any device, you should always consider it compromised. @THIS STATMENT IS VERIFIABLY INCORRECT On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 08:40, David Lum <[email protected]> wrote: > What I don't know is if this phone OS is any worse than anything else in > use.
