Lei Jun, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Mobile, pointed out in an interview with Xinhua News Agency during the two sessions that with the rapid development of smart phones, the problem of privacy disclosure may become more serious. "With the development of the Internet, the privacy problem has become more and more serious." He stressed that the problem of privacy leakage is even more serious in smartphones than in computers. "On the computer, mail will also enter passwords; on the mobile phone, most of them are default passwords for the convenience of use," Lei Jun said, "If your mobile phone is lost, it will be more terrible than if your computer is lost."

In fact, the question of who is more fearful when losing mobile phones or computers is a false proposition. Any security measures are invalid for users who have bad usage habits and no security awareness. What we are talking about today is not users in extreme use cases, but for ordinary users, why losing mobile phones is more scary than losing computers.

Relationship chain

With the development of mobile phones, the phone book can be abandoned for a long time. The capacity of mobile phones is enough to fill a lot of phone information. Although we will backup the address book, the relationship chain exposed after the phone is lost cannot be ignored. SMS messages, call records, and the names of the corresponding numbers in the phone book will reveal the relationship between the phone owner and the owner of the number. They will be used to cheat with ulterior motives, and the success rate is extremely high. Where does the huge amount of information come from in the computer? The IM tool can also be counted, but after the IM tool changes the password, it cannot log in.

memorandum

Memos are also a major source of important information leakage. Many people want to write down everything in Evernote, There is no password in the mobile phone except Alipay wallet. If the mobile phone is lost, Xiaobian can find a piece of integrity and kill it! The information in the memorandum, combined with the relationship chain mentioned in the previous paragraph, can cheat more people. Users are more willing to encrypt important data on the computer, because it is just a matter of clicking twice to enter the password, and most of the memo information stored on the computer is not very important.

Photo

Is the tragic experience of his brother Edison not enough to warn us? It's ok to lose a group photo with friends and relatives full of memories. If you lose a picture with your partner make love It would be a tragedy if our photos and videos were posted on the Internet. The previous two paragraphs are all friends of the fraud owner, so the content in this paragraph can be directly used to threaten the owner. For many users who don't even know how to import photos and videos from iPhones into their computers, photos and videos on their computers will be more pure, healthy and upward not fit to be seen What are you afraid of? I definitely didn't shoot it myself, except for Dixie Brother.

social networks

For heavy SNS users such as small editors, it is easy to mine a lot of information from social networking sites such as Weibo, WeChat, Facebook, etc. No one should enter a password every time they log in to Weibo, right? Basically, every SNS APP is automatically logged in by default. What if someone posts a strange selfie in your photo album to your microblog account? What if the person who gets the phone causes a misunderstanding when cheating his girlfriend with WeChat? It's OK to cause a misunderstanding. It's troublesome to steal your girlfriend. Social networks on computers are more open, and there is no such thing as WeChat or Momo hook up Although the software like private social networking is also very dangerous, it can avoid adverse effects by quickly changing the password.

Equipment itself

For a small number of users who "sell their kidneys" to buy mobile phones, losing a mobile phone worth thousands of yuan is enough to make them want to die. In addition, after losing the mobile phone, I found that there are many people who pay exorbitant bills when I replenish the card. When a lost phone 2G network with 1M and one yuan When you surf the Internet, your bill will scurry up. This is also the case with lost computers. However, with only a few laptops carrying 3G network cards, more users will still choose to use mobile phones The 2G network with a slow death rate of 1M and one yuan Take the computer to the Internet.

summary

Why is losing mobile phones more scary than losing computers? In a word, you pay less attention to privacy protection when using your mobile phone than when using your computer. In addition, compared with computers, mobile phones are basically carried with you, so you can record more privacy.
