Dial F for Fraud: Mobile Technology, Safety and Security

Seems we just can't live without our mobile phones these days - but do you know your Android from your Apple when it comes to the world of mobile safety and security? Our two speakers would like a word in your ear... As usual we have two very different angles: one speaker works in the mobile industry and the other is from the City of London Police the Lead Force for fraud in the UK.
