Currently all someone has to do to get access to the storage on the N900 is attach it to another PC as a mass storage device. The N900 "password" only protects the data when the device is turned on.

Try this:
1. Turn off device (thinking your data is secure)
2. Attach to PC as mass storage device
3. Peruse the data
4. Begin worrying

This is a massive security flaw (IMHO). Other phones that we laugh at (such as 3GS) even shred the data after too many attempt.

How do we get this fixed? Presumably it's a Nokia/Firmware thing rather than maemo...?

PS. Sorry, eyn, that you've lost your device. The only thing stopping me using the N900 for *everything* is just your situation with the above breach.
