Mozilla Releases First Two Firefox OS Smartphones

Mozilla released the first two smartphones to carry the new Firefox operating system today.  After early details were unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, the new operating system began to generate serious buzz.  Mozilla partnered with Telefonica for the initial release.

ZTE and Alcatel provided the design for the first two phones to carry the new Firefox HTML open source OS, each sporting slim touchscreen designs and very affordable price points.  Both the ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire come standard with all of the normal smartphone amenities, including email, phone calls, text messaging, maps, camera (3.15 and 3.2 MP respectively), and naturally, Web browsing with Firefox.  Users can also download apps, although they may not get too far on the internal memory.  Fortunately, both phones have expandable MicroSD memory as well.

Neither phone exceeds 512 MB of internal memory, and neither has an HD screen, but the €69 (~$90) price point, which includes €30 of credit for pre-paid users, more than makes up for the lack of sizzle.  Both phones have highly respectable Adreno 200 graphics cards and 1 GHz Qualcomm processors.

The Firefox OS is an open-source system, intended to compete with Android for developer attention, and the experience is reportedly similar to using an Android device.  It was developed using HTML5, the language of the Web, which Mozilla hopes will make it easier for third party developers to produce apps.  With HTML5 integrated onto an open source operating system, there's definitely a possibility that Firefox could catch on with that crowd, although it remains to be seen if the software has the performance or longevity to make a splash.

'Kill switch' on smartphones takes a step forward

Federal prosecutors want kill switches on smartphones as part of the Secure Our Smartphones initiative

A call by federal prosecutors for phone manufacturers to install a "kill switch" to discourage smartphone theft has taken a step forward, with Apple and Samsung providing handsets whose security features will be put to the test.

As part of the "Secure Our Smartphones" initiative announced by U.S. prosecutors and other groups in June, phone makers are being asked to find technological solutions to prevent smartphone theft. U.S. law enforcement is dealing with growing crime -- including murder -- related to smartphone theft, especially iPhones, and one of the ideas put forward was the installation of kill switches to disable smartphones completely.

As part of the SOS initiative, Apple will provide an iPhone 5 with the "Activation Lock" enabled, while Samsung will provide a Galaxy S4 smartphone with the LoJack for Android feature. The smartphones will be tested for security features and attempts will be made to circumvent the anti-theft features.

The prosecutors expect smartphones with kill switches to be released by early 2014, and discussions about the initiative have been held with Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft. The SOS initiative is also backed by state officials, police chiefs, district attorneys, attorneys general and consumer advocacy groups.

Apple's "Activation Lock" feature in iOS 7 requires an iPhone owner to enter a username and password to enable a locked or wiped phone. The feature is intended to make it difficult to resell a lost or stolen iPhone.

It is estimated that about 1.6 million people were victims of smartphone theft in the U.S. last year. Around 30% to 40% of all robberies are smartphone theft, according to the U.S. prosecutors.

BYOD - Bring your own disaster

According to the latest Mobiquant research BYOD is becoming a standard policy in a large number of companies. Although security of mobile devices is still a main problem for employers. Research confirms that BYOD is one of the main trends and challenges for entrepreneurs.

Companies wondering whether allow employees bring their own mobile devices to work can now stop asking that question. If proper security solution are applied, BYOD can give them an advantage over the competition by strengthening innovations and creativity in the workplace and reducing overall costs of an organization. Establishing cooperation with IT security partner who understands how important it is to provide proper security level for the whole network allows enterprises to gain benefits from BYOD process and protects them from drowning in the onslaught of information.

Primary feature of BYOD is a wide range of mobile devices, technologies and software what may cause problems with providing consistent and hermetic security system. Therefore, it is essential to introduce and implement an integrated security policy - at this point companies also have to control and monitor activity on mobile devices and prevent any internal information leakage.

From the point of view of an employer, data security should be a key feature of BYOD. Every organization decided to encourage employees to use private devices should take care of rational and functional security policy including:

• list of devices that use the company network along with assigned users and their user access level to the enterprise data
• data storage rules and the terms of downloading data on employees’ mobile devices
• procedures in case of a theft, loss and termination of the contract with an employee that will allow to erase company’s data from a mobile device
• terms and procedures for operating systems and software update
• requirements for password usage.

80% of enterprises allows their employees to use their private mobile devices for work. Over 50% of the companies reports cases of data theft and security breaches. What is more shocking, all cases are connected with access to the network from private mobile devices of employees.

Taking into account that over 50% of employees are using they private devices for work, Mobiquant Technology research shows that over a half of companies from Media, Technology and Telecommunication sectors are not investing enough resources in their mobile fleet security. BYOD policy is advantageous and can bring considerable gains but companies introducing this policy should remember that without tailor-made security procedures it can do more harm than good as far as data protection is concerned.

Le MDM est incontestablement un nouvel axe stratégique pour les entreprises. La mise en place d’un projet de mobilité ne peut souffrir d’une gestion de la sécurité approximative voire absente.

Nous allons aborder ces dernières dans une série d’articles d’Opinion et débuter cette initiative avec une première analyse sur l’importance de la maîtrise des terminaux utilisés par les collaborateurs.

Chinese hackers break into the New York Times, steal every employee's password

The New York Times has reported that for the last four months Chinese hackers have been infiltrating its networks, broken into the email accounts of senior staff, stolen the corporate passwords for every Times employee and used those to gain access to the personal computers of 53 employees.

According to the report, the first attack came in mid-September 2012 as the newspaper prepared to publish an investigation into the family of Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao, who are said to have accumulated billions of dollars through business dealings.

Malware was planted on users' computers which opened backdoors for the hackers to gain remote access to connected systems - including a domain controller that contained usernames and hashed passwords for all of the New York Times' employees.
