US mobile spammers are using cell phone users’ personal data to launch invasive, highly targeted attacks, according to AdaptiveMobile. For the first time, mobile spammers can use such information as the subscriber’s first name, zip code, income level, and ethnicity to make attacks personalized and more effective.

Many users don't take steps to protect themselves and their data on their smartphones and tablets.
When it comes to keeping their mobile devices safe and secure, consumers are playing a game of cat-and-mouse with cybercriminals.
Although most users are aware that mobile devices can be hacked, just as desktops or laptops can, many still don't take steps to protect themselves and the data on their smartphones and tablets, according to a study released Wednesday at the CTIA conference in Las Vegas.

PRIVACY AND ICT The whys and wherefores of privacy
Privacy is a sensitive subject to which people attach great importance. The only problem is that they do not know exactly why. Still, if it is so important then it is also necessary to establish why that is the case. It is therefore the task of ethicists to clarify the relevant theoretical arguments and practical implications. Any topics that touch on privacy, such as the electronic files on patients (efp) and cameras in public spaces therefore soon become topics of heated social and political debate. People appreciate the advantages of new information technology but are at the same time alarmed to realize that so much is known about them. It is often emotions that play a decisive role because the relevant arguments are difficult to formulate not to mention weigh up.

Do you always turn WiFi off on your smartphone before leaving the house or work? You might think there's no harm in having WiFi turned on but not connected to a network, but that's not necessarily the case.
A wireless device goes through a discovery process in which it attempts to connect to an available wireless network. This may either be ‘passive’ - listening for networks which are broadcasting themselves - or ‘active’ - sending out probe request packets in search of a network to connect to.
Most devices use both passive and active discovery in an attempt to connect to known/preferred networks. So it's very likely that your smartphone is broadcasting the names (SSIDs) of your favourite networks for anyone to see.
===> An ‘evil twin’ attack could even accomplish this without needing any knowledge of your WiFi password - very damaging for all of those who use mobile banking for instance! <===

Lisa Nielsen, the author of "Teaching Generation Text: Using Cell Phones to Enhance Learning" and "The Innovative Educator" blog, believes it is time to shatter a few myths about students bringing their own devices (BYOD) to school.
Organizations that do not invest in security education for their employees put themselves at risk.
Gust MEES: when working with ICT Education of employees is a MUST, in Business and especially in Education while working with "Bring Your Own Device" (Hashtag on Twitter = #BYOD)!

Call it Invasion of the iPhone Snatchers: a new FinFisher-based spyware is built to infect iPhones and iPads (and Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone gadgets too) in order to take over the device completely — all unbeknownst to the user.
The smartphones and tablets will innocently appear to be themselves, but in reality the mobile malware is working in the background to track the device’s location, monitor activity and intercept communications including emails, voice calls and text messages.
Gust MEES: in Education we use Internet for e-Learning + m-Learning and also we embrace "Bring Your Own Device" (Twitter Hashtag = #BYOD), so we need to know also about the dangers, risks and threats with it! That's our responsibility against our learners (students) and we need to learn the basics of IT-Security and share our knowledge and help our learners when security problems occur ;)

Coalfire recently conducted a survey on the BYOD to work trend. The findings reveal many companies are not discussing mobile device cybersecurity issues with their employees and lack policies to protect sensitive company data.
The survey was conducted last month among 400 individuals in a variety of industries across North America that do not work in IT departments.
“The BYOD trend is not slowing down, and while it has many benefits, it’s also introducing a number of new security risks that may be foreign to many companies,” said Rick Dakin, CEO and chief security strategist with Coalfire.
===> “The results of this survey demonstrate that companies must do much more to protect their critical infrastructure as employees work from their own mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, in the workplace. Companies need to have security and education policies in place that protect company data on personal devices.” <===

The market’s needs are ALSO to employ people with the basics of Cyber-Security knowledge as a modern company needs to protect its online reputation and a data loss could be lethal to them, their ruin eventually! SO, the new employees is the students coming out of school, College, High school, Universities; ALL of them need to have the basic knowledge of Cyber-Security to be competitive in a working market where there is more and more unemployment worldwide…
===> A company would take advantage of a new employee who as already the necessary knowledge of Cyber-Security as the company doesn’t need to train him, which saves it a lot of money! <===

The Norton Cybercrime Report is out for 2012! Cybercrime continues to have far-reaching effects and is increasingly a problem on mobile devices and in our social networks (where we seem to be less vigilant).
After surveying more than 13,000 consumers in 24 countries, the researchers found that the numbers of online adults increased by 20 percent from last year, and that cybercrime impacted just under ½ of them in the previous 12 months. The total direct consumer cost was calculated to be $110 billion, slightly down from last year’s $114 billion (USD), with the average cost per victim down approximately 20 percent. The reason the overall cost remains so high is that the pool of victimized online adults grew more rapidly - in other words, less money, but from more victims.

With 6 billion global mobile subscribers and over 35 billion apps downloaded to those devices, one begins to wonder how secure this situation is for businesses. In fact it’s not.
The situation can best be described as turning an organization’s network security into Swiss cheese, where holes are opening up from devices everywhere. Welcome to the mobile business revolution. Along with any major insurgency, what previously seemed secure meets what suddenly makes it vulnerable. =============================================
