It’s obviously a risk for those that use their iPhone for personal use, but those that use their iPhone for business purposes may be putting the company’s network security at risk, too.
Here are the results from Fraunhofer’s research scenario:
You can read the full published paper from Fraunhofer with the full details, or for those who could care less about research papers and just want to see it done (like me), here’s the video:
So what does this all mean?
Don’t lose your smartphone. It’s worse than losing your wallet.
Speak your mind...
