Smartphone Users Ignore Security

New research compiled in May 2011, following interviews with 1,000 UK smartphone owners, showed that users hold mobile network operators responsible for a variety of security issues including unexpected items on their bill, SMS test Phishing, mobile spam, malware and viruses and rogue applications.

The research, by AdaptiveMobile, suggests that users are more concerned about the data and information stored on their phone and the possibility of identity theft, than they are about the handset itself.  Despite their fears they are also simultaneously leaving themselves exposed to mobile security risks.  For example, 50% of respondents would be prepared to open an SMS text message from someone they did not know, 36% would open an email from someone they don’t know and 32% are saving log-in information such as passwords on their device. 

A recent survey by One Poll on behalf of internet security firm, BullGuard, showed that 53% of users claimed that they are unaware of security software for smartphones, which the firm stated showed a lack of insight into the rising number of malicious threats affecting mobile phones.
