The cyber crime threat on mobile devices

This paper is concerned with highlighting recent and emerging cyber crime threats to mobile devices. The main classes of threat are briefly reviewed, and the history of attacks against mobile systems is summarised. Two case studies of attacks against general-purpose systems not normally thought of as security-sensitive are given, and conclusions are drawn.
