New York requirements Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung help to prevent victims stolen smartphone


 
The head of the council's legal in New York - Eric Schneiderman - have recently called Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Motorola Mobility work with his agency to reduce the theft smartphone. 


 In a letter sent to the company, the company Schneiderman criticized for "not achieving the promise of security to consumers." He also wants representatives from agencies working with security firm Lookout (which is advising Schneiderman's office) to "develop new anti-theft measures", namely to find complete lock solutions machine when mobile stolen so they can not circulate on the black market.Smartphone theft is as big a problem for New York City.
  
 Last year, the city recorded crime levels doubled and the number of iPhone theft increases. Schneiderman's review of its efforts to smartphone and mobile operating systems in reducing the crime rate is "insignificant" and the reason he fears that the company does not want to lose the revenue from the sale " equipment replacement "for the stolen phone. He asks Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Motorola Mobility have a brief summary of the anti-theft measures that they are applying to their own devices, and cooperation with the agency to resolve his problem. 

Currently, most mobile operating systems provide solutions to prevent theft, such as iOS and Windows Phone which features remote lock, support to install the Android app to do this (but myself Google does not integrate measures for Android). However, they do not seem to be working if the machine is running the firmware. In addition, the major U.S. carriers Verizon, AT & T, Sprint, T-Mobile shared database on the series of the phone is stolen and will not activate them. However, this method is only applicable in the United States, so if you carry an offense to sell overseas, unobstructed at all.
