Mobile attacks and phishing will certainly be more via SMS texting than anything else I feel. Everyone reads all their texts, and folks are much more likely to follow a link within a text message than through an email message... It's an easy attack vector.... Michael P.

Hi all, I just hope that I'm not already too late to be the fiirst person to predict that 2013 will be _the_ year of mobile malware... Regards, Nick FitzGerald
Mobile offers homogeneous targets, but also targets which can be fixed, overnight, by vendors with deep pockets. I predict more-of-the-same for 2013, but with a more litigious slant. As attacks are ever more directed and focused in nature, users will start to view their vendors as culpable. -- Dan White _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
