Security vulnerabilities in the palm of your hand (literally)

I saw this a while back, and found it quite interesting.

After just recently joining the world of “smart phone users”, and recognizing that the general numbers seem to grow more and more each day. Especially as carriers begin to focus more on smart phones. These types of attacks may begin to become more common, and the risk of revealing personal information like account numbers, addresses, contact information, or even private documents (if using Mobile Office) increases as well.

So what is one to do? It’s a smart idea to set definitive rules for your phone usage, and cut back on what needs to be done via mobile device and what can and should be left to the computer (in a secure environment). Online banking is one of those tasks, if you find yourself in a situation where you must login to access bank information on-the-go, do yourself a big favor, and simply call instead.
