| 374246 | 2005-07-22 06:02:00 | I don't know.. saying "you don't need to worry" about some of those is just head in sand stuff. My pick is that mobile malware in is going to be the huge growth "industry" in the future. With 3rd Gen cellphones coming online, there is a new target for the people who make botnets. I've already heard of one trojan that sent SMS messages to a preimum number. I don't think that the varity of platforms will save us. It's not really that diverse, with Symbian, WinCE, and PalmOS being the biggest targets. -Qyiet |
