Ricard Martínez explained how to protect the authorities' mobile phones from spying. He emphasised that they must undergo permanent security audits.

The director of the Privacy and Digital Transformation Chair Microsoft-UV, Professor Ricard Martínez M., was interviewed on Cadena Ser's Hoy Por Hoy programme. He was consulted on how to protect mobile phones from the threat of cybercrime. This follows the security breach of the mobile phones of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Defence Minister Margarita Robles.

Among others, the academic pointed out that it is necessary to periodically audit the terminals - or mobiles - used by public officials. This is because any breach could give access to a considerable volume of data of state services.
