Why (And How) Teachers Should Start Learning and Teaching Cyber-Security . What should get be taught and learned more in the 21st Century while using ICT?
In the 21st Century, Education has a BIG responsibility to adapt to the very quick change in the world and to teach the students the knowledge they need and which are required to fulfill the market’s needs!
The market’s needs are ALSO to employ people with the basics of Cyber-Security knowledge as a modern company needs to protect its online reputation and a data loss could be lethal to them, their ruin eventually! SO, the new employees is the students coming out of school, College, High school, Universities; ALL of them need to have the basic knowledge of Cyber-Security to be competitive in a working market where there is more and more unemployment worldwide…
===> A company would take advantage of a new employee who as already the necessary knowledge of Cyber-Security as the company doesn’t need to train him, which saves it a lot of money! <===

Mobile malware has now become a profitable industry. Because of its global ubiquity as a phone payment mechanism, premium text billing is the most common tactic used by malware writers to commit financial fraud on mobile.
This class of malware, termed “Toll Fraud,” has become the most prevalent type of malware within the past year. Just one family of Toll Fraud malware, FakeInst, accounted for 82 percent of Lookout user detections in June 2012 and is estimated to have successfully stolen millions of dollars from people in Russia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe.

Mobile variants of the commercial FinFisher trojan target BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android and iOS devices.
The commercial FinFisher FinSpy spyware trojan was created by Gamma International, and its development is believed to take place in Germany. The company sells its trojan toolkit – which is thought to currently support all major operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X and Windows – to governments for use by security agencies. Until now, relatively little was known about the mobile variant of the trojan.

Despite its significant user base within enterprises, BlackBerry devices have managed to stay off the radar for malware writers. That may be ending, as Kaspersky Lab recently analyzed four new Zeus-in-the-mobile (Zitmo) samples targeting BlackBerry users in Germany, Spain, and Italy, Denis Maslennikov, a researcher at Kaspersky Lab wrote on the company's Securelist blog. These variants were communicating with two command-and-control cell phone numbers associated with a Swedish mobile operator.

PRIVACY AND ICT The whys and wherefores of privacy
Privacy is a sensitive subject to which people attach great importance. The only problem is that they do not know exactly why. Still, if it is so important then it is also necessary to establish why that is the case. It is therefore the task of ethicists to clarify the relevant theoretical arguments and practical implications. Any topics that touch on privacy, such as the electronic files on patients (efp) and cameras in public spaces therefore soon become topics of heated social and political debate. People appreciate the advantages of new information technology but are at the same time alarmed to realize that so much is known about them. It is often emotions that play a decisive role because the relevant arguments are difficult to formulate not to mention weigh up.

With 6 billion global mobile subscribers and over 35 billion apps downloaded to those devices, one begins to wonder how secure this situation is for businesses. In fact it’s not.
The situation can best be described as turning an organization’s network security into Swiss cheese, where holes are opening up from devices everywhere. Welcome to the mobile business revolution. Along with any major insurgency, what previously seemed secure meets what suddenly makes it vulnerable. =============================================
