Hackers to Aim Attacks More on Mobile Devices



(Digital Marketing Agency) - According to Symantec’s internet security threat report, mobile users should be on high alerts when it comes to cyber-attacks as they aim for their personal data mostly stored in their portable devices and easily prone to vulnerability of digital attacks.

“Mobile devices will continue to become a target for cyber attackers especially when such devices store up a trove of personal and confidential information and are left switched on all the time,” the report stated.
“With smart home automation gaining popularity amongst consumers across Asia Pacific and Japan, Symantec anticipates that commoditized ‘plug and play’ consumer devices such as CCTV cameras and remote access controls for alarms, lighting and climate control will be exploited by cyber criminals,” it said.
“Advancements in the Internet of Things also means consumers will have increased connectivity across their devices, gadgets and machines – and with this connectivity comes the potential for a whole new range of security risks.”
