The Web, Cell Phones, and Security

Cell phones, computers, and internet technology in general will never be completely safe. As long as there are people utilizing the technology, the flaw will exist. The flaw is the human nature of the users.

The bad guys are creative and deceptive. If users don’t take some responsibility for security, then there is no company that can protect them. Companies, like PayPal, are continuously working to combat the bad guys and the bad habits of their subscribers.

Cell phone companies don’t seem to want to admit the vulnerability of the technology. In recent problems that some Sprint customers have faced, the company has denied that the allegations are even possible.

Technology safety is something that can only be accomplished by a team effort. Companies and users working together, and doing all that they can, will keep each other safe.
