Abstract :
The growing popularity of wireless technology may have finally attracted enough hackers to make the potential for serious security threats a reality. The world of computers and communications, the more widely a technology is used, the more likely it is to become the target of hackers. Such is the case with mobile technology, particularly smartphones, which have exploded in popularity in recent years. Many users download mobile applications with little regard to whether they´re secure, providing a ready way for hackers to attack the device.
