Windows Mobile Security Software Fails the Test

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the running-the-gauntlet dept.

boebert_ms writes "Windows Mobile security software is insecure and buggy, according to a report from Airscanner. In a paper posted at msmobiles.com, roughly 20 different Windows Mobile programs (e.g. MS Money, Password Master 3.5, etc) were examined and found to have a wide range of issues from broken protection schemes to poor encryption algorithms, and more. The paper goes into some details about each program and their flaws and also provides some tips on how to protect your data."

    While I am not the least bit surprise about a M$ product with massive holes in it, I will also say that no machine/software is completely secure from the moment it is connected to the network. If you want secure, unplug it, lock it in a nuclear waste transport container, and sink it in the Marianas Trench.
