Abstract
In a method and system for responding to an unauthorized action on a mobile communications device, a cryptographic key is destroyed. The destruction of the cryptographic key is followed by initiating a boot sequence at the mobile communications device where the device is booted into a kernel that restricts operation of the mobile communications device to communications with a server.
