Malaysia warns of jail for text-messaging behind the wheel
Malaysian motorists who read or send SMS text messages while behind the wheel face going to jail, authorities warned in a report Wednesday, saying texting is more dangerous than talking on the phone. Malaysia’s Road Transport Department last year nabbed 600 motorists for using text messaging services and is setting its sights on catching more, according to the New Straits Times. “Using the SMS while driving is more dangerous than talking on the handphone. You would have to concentrate on the message being sent. How can you keep your eyes on the road while doing this?” the department’s enforcement director Solah Mat Hassan was quoted as saying

Brits Naive about Mobile Phone Security
Over four million people in the UK keep highly sensitive identity data stored unsecured on their mobile handset, according to research by Credant Technologies.
One in six (16%) of those surveyed were found to store bank account details on their mobile phones, whilst almost a quarter (24%) keep passwords and pin codes on their handsets.
One in ten use their phone to store credit card details, and a similar number (11%) store their social security and inland revenue information.
In total, 80% of mobile phone users keep data on their handsets that could be used to steal their identity if their phone got into the wrong hands.
Meanwhile, four in ten of those polled said they have no password protection on their mobile device.
Sensitive business data could also be found on many handsets, with 99% of those surveyed using their mobile for work despite 26% being instructed not to do so.
Three quarters (77%) keep business names and addresses on their phone, three in ten use their handset as a business diary, whilst a third (35%) use their phone to send and receive business emails.
Paul Huntingdon, public sector director at Credant, said: “Once you have access to someone’s emails, passwords, birthdays, business diary, documents, children’s names and pets you can easily masquerade as that person.
“People are ignorant to how easy a professional thief could take over their life and effectively destroy it.”
