We provide a cross-platform, open source anti-theft software that protects more than eight million mobile devices and today announced the results of the inaugural Prey Mobile Theft & Loss Report, which found that misplaced devices were responsible for the vast majority—69 percent—of all devices reported missing in 2018. Ultimately, the Prey survey determined that mobile device owners are a greater threat to their devices than are thieves and that, when it comes to device theft, the most comfortable and familiar places, such as offices, homes, or schools, can be the least safe.
