1. THE HISTORY OF
LOOKOUT

2. John Hering, Kevin Mahaffey and
James Burgess, three security
researchers from USC, discovered
a Bluetooth vulnerability in the
Nokia 3610.
The researchers tried to work with
Nokia to patch the vulnerability.
But the vulnerability would be too
complex to fix, and Nokia believed
that the range of Bluetooth was
only 10 — 100 meters.

with Bluetooth capabilities

3. To demonstrate the Bluetooth vulnerability, the founders built the BlueSniper,
which set a new world record by retrieving information on a device from over
1 mile away using the Bluetooth connections in mobile phones.

4. Living in LA at the time, the three
researchers walked around the red
carpet of the Academy Awards
with a high-powered Bluetooth
antenna, collecting evidence of the
vulnerability from hundreds of
celebrities’ phones.

5. Realizing that people would need protection from mobile-based threats…
John Hering, Kevin Mahaffey & James Burgess officially
founded Lookout, then known as Flexilis, in 2007.

6. The first security app for
Windows mobile launched
