Hi, I am Arundhati Ramanathan, correspondent Chennai times, Times ofIndia,
Im working on an article on mobile phone hacking.
Hello!
I have a couple of questions about moblie security and its abuse, which Ifor
hope you could answer.
1. How easy is it breaking into a mobile phone. What are the requistes
hacking a phone( both the hacker and the victim)
Since most mobile phones run a proprietary OS or mostly a bug ridden
mess that runs over Java or something, we are going to have
trouble with attackers for sure.
Though the question remains how long it will take for threats to become
real.
2. What steps can one take to prevent hacking private info especially
when mobile banking etc are popular
Most websites that provide mobile banking will work over SSL. If the
mobile browser supports SSL, then the risk is greatly reduced.
