Don't Forget These Cell Phone Dangers If You Own A Business!

There have been many debates about the possible radiation dangers of cell phones and that is something you want to keep in mind and take precautions to minimize the dangers -- particularly if you use your phone often   or for  long periods of time  But if you own a business or are responsible for protecting a company's confidential information there is another danger you should never forget.


That is the stealing of information through cell phones. According to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine  Zeitung back in 2004 (You can imagine how much this threat has grown since that time.)  many companies were alarmed at the potential of cell phones as espionage tools because first of all unethical employees or other persons could easily photograph classified  information to sell to competing companies. And even if they are caught often they have already transmitted pictures containing this information to their clients before they are apprehended.


Because of this you might want to ban the use of such phones in security sensitive areas such as design and   product testing departments if you don't do this already.


And on a personal level you don't want to leave your driver's licence and other cards containing personal information lying open,  or in pouches that are easy to open, within easy access by persons you do not know. It would be very easy for anybody (and you would be surprised at who the identity thieves are sometimes) to photograph with their cell phones --  or even copy with the old fashioned pencil or pen.
