Article from UMUC's library on mobile security

As more and more people have smartphone, it can have the potential risk to an organizations security. This article has a few tips to reduce the threats.

A study I found at UMUC's library how mobile OS are attacked by hackers and what methods they use to access OS

Just a heads up on why I don't like biometric Authentication. It gets worse when used for Identification. I'll try to find a link

Glen, This did a little to damage fingerprint biometric technologies when it was first discussed in the public. I read the original article I think, when Matsumoto was using original gelatin to fake the scanners. There was also a documentary, or short news clip I had seen awhile back in which he demonstrated it. Newer technologies are starting to combine (multi-factor) authentication in order to gain access now, such as fingerprint and iris. This should help curb things like this, as well as stop the backdoor of username and password. phil

Ken, This was a very good article. Nothing that I had not heard in the recent couple years, but you can see how society is being tracked to the point that no civil liberties union will be able to do anything anymore. The byproducts of the features that everyone wants, i.e. for convenience, are what allow these agencies monitoring and mining all of this data, with our silent approval. The use of this data will only continue to rise, and we will soon see if the secure state we are building will do more good than bad.
