A shake-up is coming to the mobile security industry, and it will happen when Google begins to secure its Android environment, David Duncan, CMO of Webroot, says. When you look at most of the mobile apps, you accept the application and its privileges settings, and there is very little ability for you to customise those settings, so you either agree or disagree. App developers are trying to monetise their apps, because remember, most of these are being sold for $1.99 or they're free, so the only way that they are going to make money is collecting and harvesting data, and selling it to a data house, who in turn is going to sell it to advertisers.

It’s summer holiday season, when people pack up their smartphones and tablets, sunscreen and tank tops and set off for a change of pace. With connected devices it’s never been easier to find one’s way around, record memories, and stay in touch with friends back home.
But while technology makes traveling easier, a recent F-Secure survey pinpointed digital areas that need special consideration while on the road.

Once installed, the “remote administration tool” (RAT) software allows hackers to take control of the machine at any time – similar to how IT workers fix office computers remotely.
Hackers can then use a victim’s home computers as if sitting at it – doing everything from switching on the webcam to looking through personal files on the hard drive.

Hackers are exploiting a security flaw in Microsoft PowerPoint to attack computer systems Fortunately, the attack requires user interaction the attack requires user interaction, so you would have to consent to open the file containing an infected OLE object. So if you tried to download a PowerPoint file from the web, a display prompt would ask for download permission. Consent prompts are fairly common, however, so users might not even realize they're granting permission to an infected file. As for now, Microsoft suggests users avoid opening any PowerPoint files from an untrusted source.

DIY stalker device uniquely IDs people by tracking radio signals they emit. The research pair first envisioned Snoopy more than two years ago to underscore how much data could be gathered by a collection of devices that are within the capability and budget of a die-hard hobbyist. With a price tag of under $200 for the Snoopy spying node and $1,650 for the optional flying drone, the resulting proof-of-concept is even more instructive in the post-Snowden world that has since emerged. If Snoopy is the product of a researcher duo working in their spare time, just think what the National Security Agency, GCHQ of the UK, or Israel's Mossad can do.

Dr. Peter Lokhorst is Managing Director of InfoSecure BV, which is currently in seven countries and provides awareness training programs to international clients including Procter & Gamble, European Central Bank, Deutsche Telecom and Bayer. Also, the role of the managers is crucial. It is important to train trainers in their role and be sure that they practice good behavior on a day-to-day basis. Safety is not about knowledge in most cases, but it is all about “awareness” in the true sense of the word. You only reach a higher level of awareness if safety is an issue that repeatedly is discussed and addressed.
