Londoners worst at leaving mobiles in taxis

Thousands of mobile phones, PDAs and laptops are forgotten in taxis everyday, according to a new survey. As the British IT portal The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk reports, the international survey of 900 taxi drivers shows that many passengers are leaving potentially sensitive information at risk because they fail to use password and encryption facilities on mobile devices. The survey in London was conducted by TAXI, the magazine for the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association magazine, and sponsored by Pointsec, a mobile security company.
