Mobile Malware Coming At You

Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by on April 27, 2006

We picked up this bit of info from F-Secure's blog via Slashphone (always on the ball). According to F-Secure analysis, the number of mobile malware links

sources it is tracking has increased from just a handful in 2004 to over 200 as of this month. This figure has doubled in the past six months. The guys at F-Secure point out that many of these devious applications are variations on the same virus, and that techniques honed in the PC world (social engineering for example) are making their way into a mobile environment. They predict the next target will be mobile payment systems. Where's the love, man?
