Abstract

A security code module is provided that a developer may include in an application. The application, when downloaded onto a mobile communications device, includes the security code module. The security code module then initiates a request to a server to determine the status of the mobile communications device. When the status indicates that the mobile communications device is not in the possession of the registered owner, a security component on the server performs an action in response.
