All you need to know about smartphone hacking
Tweet Ever heard of the black hats? And, no, we’re not talking top-hatted City bankers, but unscrupulous computer hackers. The data on your laptop and desktop might be nailed up tighter than Sing Sing prison, but what about your smartphone? Take hacking personally According to Intel, hacks on mobile devices rose by a factor of six in 2012. And while the UK’s Leveson Inquiry has made us all hyper-aware of mobile phone hacking, it gets worse than intercepted voice messages: because your smartphone is the repository all sorts of intimate information—your personal (or work) email, instant messages, texts, videos, photos, notes, credit and debit card information, and more—if you’re not aware of the risks of mobile hacking, you’re leaving some extremely personal data vulnerable to attack and misuse. Phishing and scams How much of a problem is it? Well, whilst we’re all very aware of the security risks when browsing the Web on our desktops and laptops, the research says we’re not quite so savvy when we’re using our mobile devices; in fact, mobile users are three times more likely to fall for phishing attacks or email scams than desktop users. Lookout Security warns that four in ten mobile users will click on an unsafe link this year. On a small screen, it’s harder to determine if a Web page is legitimate, and on open platforms it’s easy to download an app without checking out the developer first. Unappy days As well as phishing operations and suspect links, dodgy apps are one of the mobile user’s weaknesses: these can gain access to your contact list, phone calls, GPS location, and credit card data, often without notifying you, and they can install spyware or malware on your smartphone. Some of the most widely-reported threats in 2012 were able to send and delete SMS messages, make unauthorised phone calls, access and use your phone’s model information, and use the mobile device as a proxy. Then there are the so-called toll fraud applications, which accounted for 62% of all mobile phone threats in 2012; these bill you serious amounts for premium SMS services like wallpaper downloads. Choose a more secure smartphone All the signs indicate that mobile Internet users are less security-aware than their laptop and desktop-using brethren. So what can you do about it? The most sensible measure is to install anti-virus software and research the vulnerability of your OS and device before you buy it. The Nokia Lumia family of smartphones, for instance, runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8, which has two level protection with built-in anti-phishing protection and an application integrity check. Forewarned is forearmed Overall best practice, though, is to be always on guard against cyber-attack. Just like with laptops, logging onto an unsecured Wi-Fi connection isn’t very sensible, especially if you’re going to be working with sensitive information. Be careful what content you download and what sites you access from your device. And, finally, make sure you always have an up-to-date back-up of the contents of your phone, just in case you do become the victim of a mobile hacker. Happily, knowledge is power and if you know the risks, it’s very easy to take simple precautions. Any questions let us know in the comments below. Image credit: Brenda Starr + Istolethetv
New Foursquare app for Nokia Lumia, brings exclusive features
Tweet The latest version of the Foursquare app for Windows Phone 8 is now available – adding an augmented reality experience, exclusive to Nokia Lumia smartphones. Download Foursquare Press the Search button on your Nokia Lumia and then tap Vision Scan the QR code Tap on the link when it appears on the screen Install the application from the Windows Phone Store Nokia, Microsoft and Foursquare have been working closely together to create a redesigned Foursquare app that reflects the design of the Windows Phone platform. While this new version of Foursquare is available for all Windows Phone 8 smartphones, there are some exclusives for those who own a Nokia Lumia. On Nokia Lumia smartphones, such as the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 720 , you can search for venues around you by switching to augmented reality mode by tapping on the map that sits across the top of the screen and then pressing the camera icon at the top. From here, your camera viewfinder will show you what’s right in front of you, in the real-world, and overlay Foursquare venues right on top of it. This helps you discover new places by providing you with real visual information, such as the exact location of the venue. Is it in front of you, or behind you? This method of checking-in helps. Tap on one of those icons and you’ll be taken to the venue details page, where you’re just a click-away from checking-in. One of the great features of Windows Phone is the speech integration. This latest version of Foursquare is the first version to offer checking-in and searching of venues by using just your voice. If you want to go handsfree, you now can. By utilising the NFC function of all Nokia Lumia Windows Phones 8 smartphones, you can now check-in by just tapping your phone against a NFC-enabled tag – should the venue have it, of course. This could be in the form of a poster, a sticker on the venue door or a card at the point of sale. However it’s packaged, just tap it. Checked-in! And, of course, no location-aware app would be complete without the most advanced mobile location platform offering 20 years mapping experience – powered by HERE platform . When you look at the map within Foursquare, it’s reassuringly familiar and runs effortlessly to provide you with pinpoint accuracy. The Nokia Lumia exclusives aside, Foursquare makes it easy for you to check-in to any location. If you find the venue and pin it to your Start screen, you’re just one press away from checking-in the next time you visit. If you have a number of close friends also using Foursquare, you can pin their Foursquare profiles to your Start screen too, making it that much easier to keep up-to-date with all their checking-in actions. Foursquare is available to download now . Become one of the 30+ million people worldwide already using Foursquare and check-in today. Have you checked out the new and improved Foursquare yet?

6 reasons why ladies love the Nokia Lumia 620
Tweet Stereotypes and clichés might tell us that tech is the geeky stronghold of men, but cold hard facts say otherwise: in 2012, data from Neilson found that 50.9% of women in the US own smartphones, compared to 50.1% of men, and equivalent research by OgilvyAction in the UK found that 56% of women own a smartphone, compared to 51% of men. So the mobile market isn’t all boys’ toys, and phones like Nokia’s Lumia 620 have huge cross-gender appeal. So why do the ladies love the Nokia Lumia 620? 1. Better for bargain hunting The OgilvyAction report found that women are more likely to use their phones for more than just calls: one in six of those surveyed had bought something on their mobile, opposed to one in nine men. The Nokia Lumia 620 uses the Windows Store, which hosts hundreds of shopping apps from Amazon, eBay and Ocado on The Go, to deals and vouchers apps like Groupon. A shopper’s paradise! 2. Cooler with colour Nikki Barton, Vice President of User Experience Design for Smart Devices at Nokia, points out that women make up a market share greater than China and India combined – and that one thing constantly demanded by that market is a selection of different colours. The Nokia Lumia 620 hits that button: it comes in six different hues, and the dual-shot shells lets your phone wear two colours at once for a unique layered effect. 3.Super for social media The International Data Corporation released a global study that showed that young women are driving social digital behaviours worldwide – that is, females aged 25-39 are more likely to use social media and content sharing online than other demographic sectors. Not only is the Nokia Lumia 620 very well-connected, with integrated Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Skype apps, the ‘Me Tile’ lets you post a Facebook status without actually entering the app, and the People Hub gives you a useful snapshot of everything your friends have been up to on social media. 4. Handier for health The Pew Research Centre in California claims that 33% of female smartphone owners (as opposed to 29% of male users) use their mobiles to look up health information. Well, again, the Nokia Lumia 620 scores highly on the health app front: the Windows Store is particularly handy for fertility tracking apps and contraction calculators. Definitely a man-free zone… 5. Optimised for organising Back to Nikki Barton, who claims that women, rather than being concerned with stats about processor speed and power, see their phones as accessories that make it easier to manage their lives – to keep schedules, find directions and edit documents. No wonder the Nokia Lumia 620 is a hit: it comes with Microsoft Office, and HERE Drive, Maps, Transit and CityLens are all bundled. SkyDrive provides cloud storage for documents and notes, and handy Agenda and To-Do functions integrate with the native calendar. You couldn’t be more organised if you tried… 6. Fashionably functional Just like men, women want their smartphones to be light and portable, with screen-size maximised. And the Nokia Lumia 620 delivers. At just 11mm thick, weighing 127g, and with a screen display size of 3.8 inches, it’s light without being too flimsy, and the screen is the perfect size for on-the-go browsing. Plus, it’s got excellent outdoors visibility, which is good news for female (and male!) photographers. Top marks! Those are our six super reasons why ladies should check out the Nokia Lumia 620, but what about yours? As ever, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Russia falls for the ‘charmes’ of Nokia Asha 311
Tweet The Nokia Asha Touch range of smartphones has been a big success all over the world since they were first released last summer. One country where the people have taken the phones to their hearts is in Russia, where, for the six months after launch, the Nokia Asha 311 was consistently the number one, top-selling device at its price point (4,990 roubles, about 125 euros) and in the top 3 of all smartphones sold by volume. There are several factors why Asha Touch has proved so popular in Russia: clever marketing, the launch of special ‘Nokia Charme’ editions, 40 free EA Games and of course, the inherent features and brilliance of the devices themselves. In an interview with Conversations, Irina Nechaeva, Nokia Russia’s head of marketing says: “The key to our success is that it’s a very affordable and easy-to-use smartphone.” “In Russia there is a very big percentage of feature phone users who aspire to own a smartphone but have limited budgets so they are concerned that it would be too difficult to switch. “Also, the Nokia brand is still quite important in our market, so a smartphone from Nokia was a big driver.” The Russian market Irina told me that as of February 2013, Russia’s mobile phones market consisted of 39% smartphones and 61% in mobile phones. Clearly, that leaves a lot of people who are still eager to experience their first touchscreen smartphone. From the beginning, Asha Touch devices were positioned as entry-level smartphones in Russia. The slogan for the campaign was a Russian phrase with a double meaning: affordable and easy to use: Мир смартфонов стал доступным This slogan turned out to be ‘perfect’ for the campaign. “Asha consumers in Russia are a bit older and are first-time smartphone buyers. A lot of them fear that if they buy a smartphone, it will be too difficult to use. Of course, when they use a Nokia Asha it is really easy,” says Irina. The Russian Nokia Asha project team of 12 also found clever ways of making the devices visible to large audiences, such as the Nokia Asha 311 being regularly used in a popular TV shows, like “Dom 2” and “Big dances”. Nokia Charme Another innovative approach that has contributed to the strong momentum behind Asha Touch in Russia was the introduction of Nokia Asha Charme. These are special editions of the Nokia Asha 311, the Asha 308 and Asha 309, decorated in a pretty floral pattern of chrysanthemums aimed directly at women. The pattern on the cover of the phone is complemented with additional elements such as special screensavers, wallpapers and pre-loaded, local social networks. The availability of Nokia Asha Charme smartphones coincided with Women’s Day in Russia, when it is traditional for men to buy women flowers and nice gifts. What could be nicer than a new smartphone? Successful and important The Asha Charme initiative – designed and managed entirely by the local team in Russia – has been a big success, with the potential to also be in used in China and other Asian countries. Asha Touch isn’t just popular in Russia, but it’s important, too. Many people buying Asha Touch smartphones will be connecting to the mobile Internet for the first time. This opens up a world of new possibilities and experiences for every Nokia Asha owner in Russia.
