Identity fraud is a growing global concern. Consumers are growing more protective of their personal data in fear of identity theft and fraud being committed against them. Recent high media profile cases of identities being lost, stolen or fraudulently used have heightened public concern.
The mobile industry is not immune from this and as such will suffer if precautions are not taken to reassure mobile subscribers that their personal data remains safe on the mobile platform and in the possession of mobile companies. The mobile industry will also have to work to convince mobile subscribers in order for successful uptake of mobile applications that rely on personal information being safely guarded and are imperative to the continued growth of the mobile platform.
Personal identity and data kept on the mobile have previously been limited, with few avenues into the mobile device for theft and fraud. However, the environment in which mobile phones are used has changed and the mobile device is now ubiquitous to everyday functions of the mobile subscriber, both for personal and business use. Applications on the mobile platform have developed to such an extent that the input of personal details has become a regular occurrence, whether on the mobile web, mobile email or even SMS. The mobile phone has long been regarded as a device that is extremely personal and, as such, security on the handset has not had the same amount of attention as has been seen on the PC and fixed line internet. This attitude needs to change in order to protect mobile subscribers from the threat of identity fraud.
Identity theft and fraud has gained a foothold on the fixed internet as well as areas of hard copy information. Visiongain believes that this will migrate onto the mobile platform. Key players in the mobile industry involved in mobile content, the mobile web and protecting mobile subscribers need to gain a thorough understanding of a crime that is continuously evolving and will migrate onto the mobile platform. The mobile phone has become intrinsically linked with the mobile web and as such has heightened the security risks associated with identity fraud. Traditional mobile content, such as voice and SMS messaging are not immune from this threat. While ID fraud in general is believed to be falling visiongain believes that its presence on the mobile phone will grow, and the mobile industry will need to be aware of the dangers presented to themselves and their subscribers.
