Hacking attacks Cyber crime has been a real concern of any computer user for years. Recently the threat has spread to smartphones and other mobile devices. Hacking mobile phones has become a real business in Russia, Asia, and other places where pre-paid phone calls are common. We estimate that criminals who target mobile phones earn from $1,000 to $5,000 per day per person. They infect mobile phones with an SMS-Trojan virus that sends short texts to a telephone number until the victim's account is emptied. An average person won't have too much money on a phone account, but when hundreds of thousands of phones get infected, it is a lot of money.
No privacy The last major threat is infringement on privacy due to the development of social networks and other similar services. Take for instance, the Google Street View, the robots that move in the air and make photos, or numerous online companies that require and divulge unnecessary personal information.
