Is Your Phone As
Secure As You Think It Is?
Every day, millions of people around the world use
smartphones in every aspect of their business. From banking and contacting
clients to phone and videoconferencing with colleagues, smartphones are an
indispensible communication tool, one that few of us can imagine doing our work
without.
We use these devices so freely because we assume that
they are secure — no one who believed their phone would be vulnerable to
hacking at any moment would feel comfortable using it to send or store
sensitive work information. But a mounting body of evidence shows that we may
be wrong to trust these everyday technologies so implicitly.
In addition to offering
group chat, ChatMail’s CAMP protocol makes it possible for users to engage in
anonymous group chats, where only the conversation’s administrator knows the
identities of the people talking. This is especially useful for those working
in industries like journalism, where it may be necessary to have people
communicate with each other without revealing their identities.
