As BYOD Trend Grows So Do Malware Attacks
The BYOD concept has been a growing trend for some years now as employees become more accustomed to using their own mobile computing devices in their jobs, and accessing corporate assets. The rapid adoption of high end smartphones and tablets including iPhones, iPads and Android devices along with the number of easily accessible apps is driving this concept forward. Cloud based services, accessible from almost anywhere, are also a key factor. The ‘Mobile Security Strategies: Threats, Solutions & Market Forecasts 2012-2017’ report report from Juniper found that while this trend can bring productivity benefits to businesses, it also poses potential security risks.
In particular, the report found that the majority of employee’s phones and smart devices did not have any form of security software loaded nor were company materials protected. The new report provides detailed assessments of the mobile security threat and the growing market for security solutions.

A hacker who controlled a botnet of 72,000 computers and rented out command-and-control access to various malcontents was sentenced to 30 months in prison today, the Department of Justice said.
Joshua Schichtel, 30, of Phoenix, Ariz., pleaded guilty in August of last year to one count of "attempting to cause damage to multiple computers without authorization by the transmission of programs, codes, or commands, a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act," the DOJ said. Schichtel sold botnet access to various individuals who paid to have him install malware on victims' computers. Although the DOJ said multiple people paid Schichtel to install malware on computers, he pleaded guilty to a charge involving one customer who paid $1,500 to have malware installed on 72,000 computers.
