noreply@blogger.com (Tom's Tips) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:17:00 PST

Cell Phones are the "New Frontier" for hackers, scam artists and thieves.
The same warnings you have been given concerning a computer can be translated to your cell phone:
1. Don't open any attachment if you are not positive as to it's origin
2. Don't respond to an email or text message that asks you for personal information

As the saying goes "Nothing is safe in silicon".

Got a SideKick and T-Mobile?

noreply@blogger.com (Tom's Tips) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:30:00 PDT

Now don't get me wrong: I like T-Mobile!

Did you know that last year they had the #1 customer service rating for cell phone service providers in the USA?

Well, it seems that those of you who got a SideKick from T-Mobile may want to check on the accessibility of the information you are thinking the Provider may have stored for you.

Here's the Article: http://tinyurl.com/yguozfx

Now you see why I am a big proponent for immediate " MOBILE TRIAGE" of a phone in an investigation and the backing up of your personal mobile phone on your computer (and then safety storing a copy of it in your safe!)!

No, I do not know who "bunnie" is but I got to give credit where credit is due!
