67,000 Phones Likely to Be Lost or Stolen During Olympics
Security experts at Venafi estimate that 67,000 mobile phones are likely to be lost or stolen during the London Olympics, according to a company press release.
The numbers of smartphones and other portable networked devices have exploded over the past few years, the release says. As such, this year’s Games will see the largest-ever risk of corporate and personal data loss during an Olympics period, with an estimated 214.4 terabytes of potentially sensitive data likely to be lost or stolen – the equivalent of 200 million books’ worth of data.
