- bullox, on 10/19/2008, -0/+5Be careful, don't get on his bad side. He's a HACKER!
- thedragon4453, on 10/19/2008, -1/+4Great. Coming soon: Norton Anti-virus for Mobile Edition.
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -8/+10sound's like an easy way for anti virus company's to make money.
- Niz1, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2a more relevant point would be that the phone in the picture is not susceptible to mobile viruses, or far from likely.
- stklaw, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2The more powerful the device is, the more worthy of it being hacked.
This is the same reason i wouldn't try to hack your toaster. - thebassmaster, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2the difference being?
- whatthefu, on 10/19/2008, -1/+3You win this round, grammar police.
- Niz1, on 10/19/2008, -0/+2Master Password? I know its not high level security but it should be good enough for the average person, and hard enough security where its not worth the trouble just for your digg password etc. If your saving a password of something big or you are someone special you wouldn't be so careless so yeah master password!
- osukwm, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1i couldn't help but notice that you make racist statements everywhere you go...
reported - idontknowmaybe, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1i've always wondered too..
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -2/+2No, the easy way is Windows...
Windows Vista is surprisingly easy to exploit, though without administrative permissions at least it didn't spread. AVG Free wouldn't catch it, though... Virus scanners suck. I almost formatted Linux over it again because of the way the virus made Explorer crash. - LordSturm, on 10/19/2008, -3/+3And yet, they use an image of one of the most pathetic phones in terms of powerfulness.
WOO I CAN STORE 50 SMS'es! - erickssm, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1www.smobilesystems.com
- Niz1, on 10/19/2008, -2/+2Personally the only problem i see is having premium rate calls being placed without me knowing so i get a huge bill, or my phone is somehow routed to involve me in some terror activity, as the phone being contract will connect to me. (too many movies?)
- aliguana, on 10/19/2008, -1/+1is that why the British government wants everyone who buys a mobile phone to register it (using a Passport)? So that if our phones are hacked, we can find out who's hacking it? Awww, I feel good knowing they're looking after me ;)
- diggdong, on 10/19/2008, -3/+3PhoneGun. Perfect for the UK. A land where privacy and self-defense are antithetical to eating a queens hooch.
- kinseyincanada, on 10/19/2008, -2/+2can some one tell me the point of making a Virus, can they make money off of it or are they just being huge dicks?
- PabloMac, on 10/19/2008, -2/+1Pics or it didn't happen.
- larryjr88, on 10/19/2008, -5/+4I worry about someone stealing my laptop... Firefox has all my passwords saved
- positron, on 10/19/2008, -2/+1According to a report, the risk of logging and wiretaps that attack mobile devices is set to rise. More powerful phones will become targets for government bureaucracy.
- ramsinks.com, on 10/19/2008, -3/+1FUD story
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -6/+49/11 was an inside job
- Kombaiyashii, on 10/19/2008, -3/+1Obvious excuse to turn the fascist police state powers away from potential terrorists and onto the regular public. I'm starting to believe 9/11 WAS an inside job...***** criminal sellouts, how the hell did we wind up with this scum?
- poidh, on 10/19/2008, -4/+2***** HI-TECH CRIMINALS.
/and the RIAA, etc. - inactive, on 10/19/2008, -6/+4Now, perhaps finally, the general public will become aware of why Apple has been such ***** about locking down the iPhone. In fact, they should probably go as far as at least some sort of automated code review, if they're not doing that already.
- projomni, on 10/18/2008, -10/+6oh sure--the more time ppl spend on their mobiles, the riskier it will get--makes sense?
- Aharoni, on 10/18/2008, -9/+2As more financial institutions start offering mobile banking services to their clients (a strong trend in the US) and as long phones' operation systems become more open (and are more exploitable) - it is quite expected that criminals will try to exploit that.
I already keep the full information of my credit cards on my phone (encrypted and password protected) and there are several applications for the iPhone which hold the owner's online banking passwords. In the future, people are bound to have more personal information on their phones and the tools to extract and decrypt this information will only get better... - inactive, on 10/19/2008, -8/+0I'm just glad i'm not black.
