A pickpocket has reportedly swiped Telstra boss Sol Trujillo's new mobile phone which is loaded with top-secret software.
The new software, built by Microsoft and not due for release until the end of the year, was on the phone given to Mr Trujillo at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Spain, earlier this week.
Experts say Microsoft faces an industrial espionage threat if the software falls into the wrong hands, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The phone is believed to be either an HTC Touch Pro2 or the HTC Touch Diamond2, which both utilise the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.
The software is so classified journalists at the World Mobile Congress were not allowed to touch the new HTC phones.
A Telstra spokesman confirmed the phone was given to Mr Trujillo but that a "senior executive" was in possession of the mobile during the time of its alleged theft.
It's believed Mr Trujillo was using the phone to test for bugs in the latest Windows Mobile operating system, unveiled by the Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer earlier this week.
"What if news of those bugs is released early before a final version goes on sale," espionage expert Les Goldsmith was quoted as saying.

Solomon Trujillo has direct links to Bush, has told Obama how to run Telecoms in the US of A, and apparently :
He resigned as CEO of U S West Communications, Inc. just before the company became the subject of a federal criminal probe for overstating nearly a billion dollars in profits. [7] He was not charged by the justice department and has denied any knowledge of accounting irregularities.
