#Met Police in #London has a “great” idea how to fight mobile phone #theft.
“The force wants to make resetting phones more difficult, with requirements for multi-factor authentication and time delays; moves to stop parts being sold without device matching serial numbers, and the ability to block devices globally in real time.”
“London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said there is "no reason" why in a year's time there should not be fully accessible serial numbers for officials and "kill switches" for stolen phones.”
“Sir Mark said this exploitation of children was an "entry point into organised crime".
"Children recruited to snatch phones for quick cash are being groomed into criminal networks, normalised into offending behaviour and pushed further into exploitation."
Repair in a shop is then over
