由互联网安全监控公司AVG和咨询公司The Ponemon Institute日前公布的调查报告显示，美国手机用户对基本的个人信息安全问题几乎毫不设防。多数用户经常通过手机购物，绝大多数手机同时兼顾个人和商务用途——在这两种移动网络环境中，用户的个人信息安全最易被侵犯。

尽管当前的个人信息安全问题已十分严峻，但极少有用户对手机设置密码，或者像在台式电脑上的操作一样，对访问手机应用进行密码设置。

tasks that consumers do on their smartphone

游戏邦获悉，84%的美国用户的智能手机同时用于处理个人和工作事务。在这些情况下，如果用户手机丢失或者失窃，就将面临个人隐私和商业机密外泄的双重风险。

更危险的是，有66%受访者称他们将与个人密切相关的数据（例如电子邮箱地址、姓名、联系信息、照片、视频、纪念日、出生年月等）保存在手机上。还有23%受访者称他们在手机上保存相关密码。

除此之外，用户对手机病毒的问题也缺乏足够的重视。事实上，许多用户都认为移动广告比应用插件更让人困扰。大约67%的受访者称不想收到推销广告和促销活动信息，但仅44%用户表示自己很担心手机感染上病毒。

该调查还指出，66%受访者至少曾通过手机完成一笔购物交易，38%用户通过手机付费，14%用户使用手机银行。有12%的用户沦为手机支付网络骗子下手的对象。另外，仅有6%用户每月都会查看手机话费帐单，只有在手机话费高于通常情况时，才有8%的用户会查看话费帐单。

虽然手机用户的信息安全面临多重隐患，但还不到一半的用户曾给手机键盘加密，或者设置密码。仅有29%受访者称曾考虑使用手机杀毒应用程序。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Survey Shows We’re Too Lazy About Mobile Phone Security

A new survey shows U.S. consumers are shockingly lax about basic security on their mobile phones.

Most of us have no qualms about making purchases via mobile, and the vast majority of us use the same phone for business and personal use — two common vulnerabilities in web security.

Yet in spite of these yellow flags, few of us use phone-locking passwords and duplicate the same passwords for mobile apps that we use on our desktops.

The survey [PDF] in question comes from security firm AVG and research and consulting firm The Ponemon Institute.

One key finding we mentioned was the crossover between business and personal use of the same device. Around 84% of consumers use the same smartphone for both professional and personal tasks. In those cases, if the user’s phone ever becomes lost or compromised, the amount of risk is automatically doubled, since both kinds of private and confidential data could be accessed.

When it comes to the kind of data that puts consumers at further risk, 66% of respondents said they kept personal and personally identifiable data (such as an email address, name, contact lists, photos, videos, anniversary and personal dates, etc.) on their phones. And 23% of respondents also said they stored passwords on their phones.

And we’re not as wary as we should be about mobile viruses, either. In fact, more consumers are bothered by mobile ads than by malware. Roughly 67% of consumers surveyed said they were concerned about receiving marketing ads and promotions, but just 44% said they were worried about the possibility of a mobile virus attack.

According to the survey, 66% of respondents have made at least one purchase on their phone, 38% make payments on their phones and 14% do mobile banking. A full 12% have been the target of attempted mobile payment fraud. Yet a mere 6% do a monthly check of their cell phone bill, and only 8% check their phone statement when it’s unusually high.

And in spite of all these security risks, less than half of consumers in this survey used keypad locks or passwords to secure their mobile devices, and only 29% said they have thought about using a mobile anti-virus application.（source:mashable）
