According to the latest Security Industry Report, SmartPhones and Social Networking sites are likely to be the next big target for cyber criminals.According to Symantec, known vulnerabilities in mobile operating systems rose from 115 in 2009 to 163 in 2010. Those who are particularly vulnerable include users of Facebook, Twitter and Google’s Operating System, Android.
Whilst Symantec's annual threat analysis warns that the technologies are increasingly being used to spread malicious code, the number of attacks remains small compared to other online crimes such as e-mail phishing.
Android systems has been hit hard recently with the suggestion being that criminals now view SmartPhone hacking as a potentially lucrative area.
The widespread availability of "attack toolkits" is being blamed for the dramatic rise in attacks. These are the software packages that allow users with relatively little skill to design their own malicious software, and are available to buy online for just a few pounds.
Globally, the well respected internet Security company recorded a 93% increase in the volume of web-based attacks between 2009 and 2010.
