"To govern is always to choose among disadvantages"
Charles Andre Joseph Marie de Gaulle (1890-1970),
French military statesman and writer

Madrid, November 9, 2007 – According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, the increasing sophistication of cell phones will turn them into one of cyber-crooks’ main targets over the next few years.
According to the study, smartphone features like Bluetooth and Internet access are making these devices vulnerable to attacks.
Although there is a false sense of security among users, Frost & Sullivan claims that the risk to cell phone users has increased, since five times as many attacks were reported in 2006 than in 2005.
Consequently, the attacks to cell phones are expected to cause the security market to increase its value thirty-five-fold over the next seven years.
Panda Security offers users of these devices its free solution Panda Security for smartphones (http://www.pandasecurity.com/enterprise/downloads/beta/mobilesecurity/default.htm)
