Share Your Story: Have You Ever Had a Mobile Security Threat?

Friday November 28, 2008
Just like your computer, your mobile phone is increasingly vulnerable to viruses, trojans, malware and other kinds of threats.

“An increasing number of malware and spyware applications are targeting mobile users and are able to log every key typed, message sent or received and data within mobile banking or trading software,” said SMobile Systems CTO Dan Hoffman in an interview with About.com.

SMobile Systems makes and sells software to combat mobile software attacks. Hoffman added: “The scary part is almost none of these devices have anti-virus, encryption or other endpoint security tools installed.”
