When do you think Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) will make it to mobility? Do you think they will start with a phishing email? Or a Smishing SMS? What kind of pedigree will the advanced threat have?
On July 27, an APT for mobile will be released. It will be advanced, because it will have figured out how to turn on the speaker and turn up the volume, and will be persistent, because it will then repeatedly announce "Hey, this dummy still hasn't reponded to our great offer!" until you click on the malicious link. It will be cross- platform, infecting Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Symbian (Window 8 being too small a market to worry about). ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past. - Baruch Spinoza victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
