Graham Clements gave his BlackBerry mobile phone to an IT department to recycle it. But last September his BlackBerry mobile phone came back to haunt him, because the IT department had sold the mobile to an other company, like millions of other devices every year. Clements is the head
of a subsidary of the Japanese packaging company Ishida. He had saved bussiness plans, details of costumers, information about his company, details of his bank account and photos of his family. The problem is that a normal person can´t wipe a mobile phone clean. Mobile devices aren´t like personal computers with an open architecture, you can´t see were your data is stored.
John Godfrey, director of a mobile phone recycling company says that it has taken his company mare than a year to talk with Nokia about wiping their phones. His company has to talk with each manufactureron this way, because they don´t want that people know to much about the technology of their mobile phones.
Over 63,000 mobile phones and about 6,000 PDAs are left in taxis in London every year. At Heathrow Airport 10 phones are found by stuff every day and one in four of this phones has no security code and can be turned on by everyone. It isn´t illegal to turn it on, it´s the owner of the phone who has to make it safe.
Clements case isn´t unusual. A study in Australia shows what a mobile device can releave about his owner. One BlackBerry recovered that his owner lives in a better part of Sydney and a lot of details about his life. It´s almost usual for us that government departments loose laptops and discs who are full with secret informations, but that almost everyone can read about us in our old mobile phone is new and almost unknown. The industry hopes that we´ll buy new devices in the next years and they are able safe huge amounts of information about their users and the financial service industry hopes that the people can use their phones for payment, what stores a lot of information in your phone about their banking actions. Most of this new mobile phones are designed to exchange data with a personal computer and they automaticly exchange the diary and the adress book and so your personal information on your computer is on your phone too.
Godfrey at Sims Lifecycle Services says that old, used phones are perfrect for social ebgineering. He also says that people have to understand, that mobile devices are a risk for personal data. A study of his service says that on 27 per cent of the PDAs were information about bussiness and on 16 per cent of them were personal information. Many devices in this study were first generation phones and 82 of 161 could be made to work.
A life of a normal mobile phone is only 12 months and after their life many users give them away with the data on it, because there is no tool to destroythe data and when the phones are away they forget them and the data on it. Many of the old phones are sent to Africa or Asia with your data. Do you know were your old device is?

Hi and welcome!

Graham Clements gave his BlackBerry mobile phone to an IT department to have it recycled. But last September his BlackBerry mobile phone came back to haunt him, because the IT department - instead of recycling it - had sold the mobile, like millions of other devices every year.

Clements is the head of a subsidiary of the Japanese packaging company Ishida. He had saved bussiness plans, details of customers, information about his company, details of his bank account and photos of his family. The problem is that a normal person can't wipe a mobile phone clean. Mobile devices aren't like personal computers with an open architecture, you can't see were your data is stored.

John Godfrey, director of a mobile phone recycling company, says that it took his company more than a year to get Nokia to talk about wiping their phones. His company has to negotiate with every single manufacturer in this way, because they don't want people to know too much about the technology of their mobile phones.

More than 63,000 mobile phones and about 6,000 PDAs are left behind in taxis in London every year. At Heathrow Airport, 10 phones are found by staff every day and one in four of these phones has no security code and can be turned on by anyone. It isn't illegal to turn it on, it's the owner of the phone who has to make sure it is safe.

Clements' case isn't unusual. A study in Australia shows what a mobile device can reveal about its owner. On one BlackBerry the information was discovered that its owner lives in one of the better parts of Sydney and a lot of details about his life. It's almost become usual for us that government departments lose laptops and discs which are full to the brim with secret informations, but that almost anyone can read about us in our old mobile phone is new and almost unknown. The industry hopes that we'll buy new devices in the next years and that they will be able to safe huge amounts of information about their users. The financial service industry hopes that the people can use their phones for payment, by which a lot of information is stored in their phones about their banking transactions. Most of these new mobile phones are designed to exchange data with a personal computer and they automatically exchange the diary and the address book and so your personal information on your computer is on your phone too.
Godfrey at "Sims Lifecycle Services" says that old, used phones are perfrectly suited for "social engineering". He continues that people have to understand, that mobile devices are a risk for the safety of personal data. A study conducted by his company says that on 27 per cent of the PDAs were information about bussinesses and on 16 per cent of them were personal information. Many devices in this study were first generation phones and 82 of 161 could be made to work.
The "lifespan" of a normal mobile phone is only 12 months and after that many users give them away with the data on them, because there is no tool to destroy it. Once the phones are gone they forget them and the data on them. Many of the old phones are sent to Africa or Asia - with your data still on them. Do you know where your old device is?

Hey, good text, well written and really interesting, though I must be one of the few dinosaurs left who still doesn't have one...

Good luck says
