Hack me if you can? Mobile security expert highlights benefits of innovative new Mobile AntiTheft f

Nov. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- The specialist mobile security firm BlackBelt, has this week announced an exciting new competition in which professional hackers and technology enthusiasts will be encouraged to crack its new Mobile AntiTheft security solution and infiltrate four virtual handsets for the chance to win a HTC Desire HD handset.

Entrants must break into the AntiTheft-installed devices, which will be hosted online by Perfecto Mobile, and recover several pieces of information in order to prove that they have ‘cracked’ the lock. BlackBelt is so confident that nobody will be able to retrieve the necessary information, that when all attempts fail it plans to give the prize to the entrant that provides the best feedback.

“We are confident that this competition will demonstrate the robustness of our easy to use, inexpensive mobile anti-theft solution,” says BlackBelt operations director and chief technical officer, Peter Harrison.
“We also hope that the challenge will help to raise awareness amongst the growing number of android smartphone users about the serious implications of leaving personal and business data open to misuse.”
