Windows Phone Thoughts: PDA Security. What Security?

"Worker apathy about PDA security is putting corporate data in jeopardy. The storage of the names and addresses of corporate customers on PDAs is now common - but security practices are struggling to keep up with technology usage. Two thirds of users do not use any kind of encryption to protect confidential data on mobile devices, according to a survey commissioned by Pointsec Mobile Technologies and Infosecurity Europe. The Mobile Vulnerability Survey 2004 found that a third of users do not even use password protection on their devices, leaving the information vulnerable to opportunists, hackers or competitors."

One of the scary things about this survey was that one in eight respondents to the survey had lost their PDAs. That's a lot of loses. The most popular(?) locations to inadvertently dispose of PDAs were in taxis (30 per cent), in cars (20 per cent), at home (20 per cent), at an airport (10 per cent) or in a restaurant (10 per cent). So, next time you leave a restaurant to take a taxi to the airport, be sue to check down the back of your seat. You never know what you may find. ;-)

So, fes' up. How many of you good folks have lost you PPC and where did you lose it? Was your data secure, or were you wide open? What did you do to ensue that it did not happen again?
