Data remembrance or data remanence is a problem for hard driver, flash disk, ram or some systems with sensitive data. Right now, many different kinds of security software can delete data clean like paper shredder.
But how about the lost or stolen disk, like PDA, which is more portable and more easily to be stolen. Because the owner may not protect any information stored in that before realizes it is stolen, the information will be totally discovered to the stealer. What can we do??
Kaspersky Lab has introduced software aimed at letting individual owners of lost or stolen Windows Mobile phones block access and delete data remotely. Kaspersky Mobile Security also filters SMS spam messages, scans incoming files for malware in real time, and includes a firewall.
To lock a phone (above left) or delete all its data (above right), the owner need merely send a specific code to it via SMS, Kaspersky claims. Via an "SMS Block" code, the phone is locked and becomes unusable until and unless a pre-set password is entered. Via an "SMS Clean" code, a phone's data can be erased remotely, including email, SMS messages, documents, and network settings.
