Smartphone Virus Scare
As smartphones
become more and more popular, so do malware and
smartphone virus threats to these devices.
Graduate students from Rutgers University have been
studying the social impacts of attacks/hacking of
smartphone devices. More is explained in this
YouTube video interview of Rutgers graduate student
Jeffrey Bickford.

Many smartphone
viruses can invade our most private conversations.
An infected smartphone just needs to be in the same
room and anyone can hear what is being said.
In the future all smartphone devices will most
likely have to install software to detect and
protect from hackers, malware and viruses. It
makes me think twice about what I text, say or
photograph with my phone.
