Abstract: Abstract: Following a similar survey about users' security perceptions regarding mobile phone usage that took place in 2009 [23] we repeated the process in an extended pool of respondents at the same place (University of Ioannina, Greece) reaching 780 answers. The main research hypothesis confirmed was that users are not adequately informed about security issues in regards to their mobile phones' options and technical characteristics. Results show that users still don't take the necessary measures to avoid a possible unauthorized access and/or sensitive data retrieval from their mobile phone. It is consequently unquestionable that since users fail to secure their mobile phones, industry and academia should proceed to educating them and designing better user interfaces in order to mitigate the risks.
