Myntex Empowers Mobile Device Security with New eStore

Urging Encryption Adoption in Wake of Chinese Telecom Hack

CALGARY, AB, CANADA, December 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Myntex, a leading provider of mobile device security, is taking decisive action to address the growing threat of cyberespionage and data breaches. In the wake of the recent Chinese hack on U.S. telecommunications networks, the ongoing exploitation of mobile devices and the ineffectiveness of unstandardized encrypted platforms, Myntex is launching its new e-store providing direct access to its mobile security solution for Canadian and U.S. consumers.

The recent cyberattacks are a wake-up call for the escalating threat to national security and the urgent need for the adoption of standardized encryption to mitigate against interception and theft. The FBI official said¹, “People looking to further protect their mobile device communications would benefit from considering using a cellphone that automatically receives timely operating systems updates, responsible managed encryption and phishing resistant.”

Myntex CEO, Geoff Green echoes this recommendation, adding that “while encryption is a powerful tool, it's not a silver bullet, malware and spyware can exploit device vulnerabilities to bypass encryption and compromise the entire device ecosystem.” Green recently demonstrated this at BSides Ottawa at his Weaponized Malware and the Effects on End-to-End Encryption² presentation. He highlighted the limitations of end-to-end encrypted application services, which only protects messages in transit, not at rest. “Once messages are stored on a device, they become vulnerable to interception or unauthorized access if the device is compromised.”

Further, iVerify researchers reveal a wider reach of the infamous zero-click Pegasus spyware than previously thought. Their analysis of 2,500 devices found an infection rate of 2.5 per 1,000 scans, indicating Pegasus may be targeting ordinary professionals and civilians in addition to activists and journalists.

Myntex’s solutions address these mobile device vulnerabilities, including offering industry-standard end-to-end-encryption, device hardening, and advance proprietary security proven³ to protect devices from a wide range of threats, including zero-click spyware, phishing, and one-click exploits.
