Lookout saves the day

Lookout – a mobile phone security service recently captured images of burglars who had stolen an android powered mobile phone. The crooks had taken some photos of themselves which were automatically backed up to Lookout’s server. The victim logged into the service and were able to download the images which they’ve been provided to the Police Department. Lookout also provides the GPS location of the device periodically as well as can close open ports and fight off viruses.

It is always great to see a product work exactly as it was supposed to. Lookout definitely saved the day. Check out http://www.mylookout.com to learn more about their service.
