New anti-fraud protection for better smartphone security

At the moment, the fraud protection experts are working hard in order to develop a dedicated technology along with a credit bureau in order to make the life easy for people. The existing credit bureau only keeps track of negative remarks on the credit score along with missed payments. In other words, it disregards all sorts of positive actions.

It will help people to stay away from the hassle associated with fraudsters in the long run.
