Take security seriously, smartphone users told

Smartphone users across the UK have been told that the security of their device is a serious issue and one they should focus on.

Leading security firm Norton has claimed that while the use of mobile platforms for cyber attacks is relatively rare in comparison to other devices, users should still be aware of the threats they face.

Con Mallon, director of regional product marketing at Norton, said: "We definitely see some of the enablers and drivers now being present in that place and as ever about all of this, it's all about the money; it's all about the return on investment."

The expert added that this year will see an increased focus on educating smartphone and tablet users to be more aware of the risk of cyber attacks.

"I think you're really going to start to see ... the public more involved, more attuned, more knowledgeable about the requirement to basically start to take security seriously on their smartphones and on tablets," he explained.

  • I wish Homeland Security in the US would look at this issue and put out warnings.

    I always liked the advice of the Russian Security Specialist for Lenin, when he stated "Never tell a friend, that which you do not want an enemy to know!"

    If you use a phone or a tablet without taking some precautions, then you are aiding and abetting those who would do you harm!

     

    Defend yourself, no one else will do it for you.

     

    Thanks,
