Information Security Awareness: Identity Theft and Mobile Phones

If you use apps on your phone to interact with the world, you're bombarded with prompts to store your credit card information for easy purchases on the fly, or by enticements to use your mobile phones as your credit card. We store all kinds of information about ourselves inside our apps so that we can engage in the consumer world with ease. At the same time, we're reminded that thieves can steal our identity from our phones, from the network on which our phones are connected, or from the vendors. Awareness is key. Please read this post from the Federal Trade Commission as they continue "Protecting America’s Consumers."
