Vodafone Warns About Indiscrete Public Conversations

Companies need to advise their colleagues to be more discreet - and use alternative forms of communication when discussing sensitive information.

New research commissioned by Vodafone UK has found that more than 70% of all workers talk business on their mobile phones in public, with one-in-five talking about business-critical subjects such as sales leads, and 15% admit to openly discussing confidential new products or services whilst traveling.

More than a quarter of workers (26%) even confessed to following up on a lead they have overheard in someone else's phone."
