A company has launched revolutionary software for tracking stolen mobile phones that is impossible to remove from the device - even with a factory reset. Absolute LoJack allows users to remotely lock their stolen device, locate it, and delete sensitive files to prevent identity theft. The company’s Investigations and Recovery Services team can track phones using the Computrace system, pictured, and will work with law enforcement agencies globally to get a device back. And unlike apps already on the market such as Find my iPhone and Hidden, Lojack will survive a factory reset and full erase. It is built into the firmware on Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet. There are 300 mobile phone thefts in London alone every day, according to figures from the Metropolitan Police. Mark Grace, from Absolute Software, said: 'Smartphone theft is a worldwide epidemic. 'With Absolute persistence technology, the owner can activate the "kill switch" and those responsible for theft can be identified or located and held accountable.' The unique software was able to track down a thief who stole a brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. The Absolute Software customer had the expensive Samsung stolen in Minneapolis. It was then reported to the local police station and to the software company. Through the use of Absolute’s forensic tools, the team managed to analyse a number of texts, emails and screenshots which enabled them to identify the user. The team then located the home address of the suspect and aided by the police, they visited the house the following day. Within ten minutes of the detective being at the suspect’s house, the thief handed the smartphone in and it was returned to its rightful owner. Derek Skinner, also from Absolute Software, said: 'We believe LoJack for Mobile Devices will act as an important deterrent in the fight against the rise of mobile phone crime.' LoJack for Mobile Devices costs from ￡29.95 for a one-year subscription. |
據(jù)英國《每日郵報》11月8日報道，Absolute 軟件公司推出了一款革命性軟件，可以幫助用戶跟蹤被盜手機。更令人驚奇的是，即便恢復出廠設置也無法將該軟件刪除。 這款名為LoJack的軟件讓用戶可以遠程鎖住失竊手機，并對其進行定位，刪除敏感文件以防身份被盜。Absolute的調查和恢復服務團隊（Investigations and Recovery Services team）會進一步通過被盜跟蹤服務系統(tǒng)追蹤手機，并與執(zhí)法機構合作在全球范圍內找回手機。 與市面上功能類似的軟件“尋找我的iPhone”（Find my iPhone）、“隱藏”（Hidden）不同，恢復出廠設置和全部刪除等方式對Lojack而言是無效的，它被安裝在安卓手機系統(tǒng)的固件上。 該軟件可以用于追蹤三星Galaxy S4等智能手機，每年僅收費29.95英鎊（約合人民幣292元）。其神奇功能此前已被證明名不虛傳，美國明尼阿波利斯市一名三星Galaxy S4智能手機用戶就是通過它在兩天之內找回失竊手機的。 Absolute軟件公司的馬克?格雷斯說：“智能手機失竊在全球范圍內都很普遍。”據(jù)報道，倫敦每天就有300起手機失竊事件。 相關閱讀 海外專家：破解環(huán)環(huán)相扣的改革難題將產(chǎn)生深遠全球影響 （信蓮 編輯：Julie） |
