Although hackers and purveyors of computer viruses have not yet infiltrated the smartphone arena, smatphone users still have much to be concerned about should their smartphone fall into the wrong hands. Since people generally use their smartphones as a miniature PDA, filled with all their personal info, the biggest secuirty threat to smartphone users is identity theft, a serious concern by any measure.
To protect yourself from such a threat, there is one step you must consider performing, namely:
Activate the Master Device Password
Most smartphones have, usually in their Security Settings, a master device password that must be entered any time your device has sat idle for a set period of time before you can access any part of your smartphone. While it may seem annoying to have to enter in a password every time you want to get into your smartphone, it can save you from a heap of trouble should you lose your device.
