Smartphone Hacking Easy Way

Hello Techie,

From many days one thought was in my mind;the thought is rubbish but more interesting to look for.It's about data security of the smartphone.

I have Nokia E71.I have set a security key lock for the phone.Also I have my memory card password protected.Today I was very excited to try this out to check the result.


 
The above images showing my Nokia E71 connected via Bluetooth to my System.The memory card is password protected & the phone is also locked.

Now to see if i can access the memory card I clicked on the device name and allowed to access the memory card though it is password protected.

In the above image it is clearly seen that I was allowed to access the memory card.The total items on the memory card can also be seen.

 Now the real game begains...

Now note the total items in my memory card.Also the newly copied file can be seen.

And the result is as expected by me.If the phone's Bluetooth is mistakenly switch on & anybody pick your phone then the sensitive data which are there on your phone or memory card can be copied to other devices very easily.

Also the temporary user of the phone can transfer any files to your device.

I have just checked this on my Nokia E71.So those who like to save critical data on the memory card or phone memory please take care after reading this.
