The next environment for viruses - handhelds?

[Archived in Entry, Handheld Device]

  „To date, attacks on IT systems have been limited to personal computers, laptops and servers. Hackers have, for the most part, bypassed mobile devices because they do not realize the true capability of handheld devices. Referred to still as "Palm Pilots," handheld devices have moved far beyond calendar and address book capabilities to include wireless PDAs and smartphones. Hundreds of enterprise-grade software packages from SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Sybase, GE Medical Systems, Siemens Medical Systems, and salesforce.com now run on different handheld devices, providing lots of tempting new hacker targets.“

  „According to Europemedia, TiVos in the UK were set by the company to automatically record a little-known BBC sit-com — and everyone received it. TiVo called it "advanced programming." That's nasty on two counts: (1) It's worse than spam, since the user didn't just get an easily deleted e-mail but received a whole program, and (2) time on the recorder is limited, so if TiVo wastes an hour on a program you haven't ordered, you lose an hour elsewhere. TiVo's blathering about the practice is astounding — calling it "an innovative way for networks and programmers to deliver interesting, new or exclusive content." It's a good thing TiVo didn't try this in the States — and it probably won't.“
