How to stop these data thief?s:

It is my opinion that the companies have to spend more time training their employees to recognize suspicious file when it is sent to them, through any kind of medium even it is a mobile phone, (one example: a modern phone can work with Java applications, and it can record voice, take photos, videos, all this at a very good quality so: what if a malicious hacker writes some code that will do all this automatically, without the knowledge of the owner, most of the people that I know every time they get a message especially on their phone, no matter if they know who the sender is, they do read it, and by the time it is read and deleted, the spy-ware, virus, exploit, worm is already installed and waiting for the right time to do what was built for!!!! let us say record conversations and even send it to an email address or another mobile phone not to mention hand help PC?s or any kind of computers connected to a network on any kind of setup? then no matter how good the certain organization, company, business protects their computer system, they are still exposed to the human factor, also known as social engineering, where hacker retrieve or gain aces to important data by con-ing (cheating)company employees. Most of the times when a hacking case investigated, the investigation research proved that ?social engineering? to be the starting point when hackers are ?casing the establishment? for a serious attack on many companies.
