Keep Your Mobile Data to Yourself: MyMobiSafe® Versus Mobile Keyloggers

Keep Your Mobile Data to Yourself: MyMobiSafe® Versus Mobile Keyloggers
By Eric Everson, Founder of MyMobiSafe.com

A simple Google search of “Mobile Keylogger” will yield over 1.3 million results. Do you still feel safe when typing in your card number on your mobile when calling your credit card company? The majority of people type in their card number when calling their credit card company. Mobile keylogging applications can track every key stroke on a mobile device making private credit card information accessible to the wrong hands.

MyMobiSafe® is designed to prevent keylogging software from copying data from your phone. By encrypting certain mobile operating files that allow mobile keyloggers to mirror key stroke data, MyMobiSafe® keeps your private information private. The first four characters of every credit card identify the card type, so keeping this information out of the right hands is a valuable choice.

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world. With the surge in available mobile content it is no surprise that the battle is spreading into the mobile community. There are a few services now offering mobile security solutions, but as the founder of MyMobiSafe.com I am biased towards ours as I know how effective we designed it to be. Regardless of which mobile security provider you choose, start thinking responsibly about the reality of keyloggers and the outside value of your mobile data.
