Abstract
A method for protecting data stored in a lost mobile terminal and a recording medium for storing the data are provided. In the method, a user who has lost the mobile terminal transmits protection control information to the lost mobile terminal, using a communication apparatus. The lost mobile terminal receives and discriminates the protection control information. User identifying information, which is included in the protection control information, is compared with information which is previously stored in the lost mobile terminal. When the user identifying information is identical to the information previously stored in the lost mobile terminal, the data which is stored in the lost mobile terminal is processed according to the user's data protection request which is included in the protection control information.
