The Cell Phone Giant

SmartPhones Are At The Center Of Information Theft

Well This was bound to happen sooner or later.  There are cell phone “viruses” floating around out there now that will steal your personal information.  Personally I think Android users are more at risk because Andriod let’s applications run in the background and you can install them from anywhere.  The Iphone however can’t run the apps in the background and you can only install stuff from the App Store.  So you have a little more protection.  Be careful out there you’ll see what I mean:

Smartphone users are at risk of personal information theft as hackers target mobile devices and online banking mobile apps. Consolidated Credit Counseling Services Inc. is warning users to take precautions to prevent identity theft, a threat that can jeopardize the financial stability of their assets.

A new virus that records and saves a users private conversation has recently emerged. The recorded conversation is uploaded to a remote server, where it becomes available to thieves and hackers. These tactics are being directed at Smartphone users who are unaware of the increased malware attempts to steal important personal information.

The Federal Trade Commission estimates that around 9 million U.S. residents have their “identities” stolen each year. Thieves gain personal information to obtain credit cards, open telephone accounts and even rent properties. Information can also be used to apply for federal benefits such as Social Security payments.
