AdaptiveMobile has uncovered the first instances of customised spam that utilise users’ data against them

Dublin: AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile security, has unearthed evidence that spammers are using mobile users’ personal data to launch invasive, highly targeted attacks. For the first time, mobile spammers can use such information as a subscriber’s first name, postcode, income level and ethnicity to make attacks personalised and therefore more effective. AdaptiveMobile issued the findings in its Global Mobile Security Insights for Mobile VIII, “Mobile security threats: conflict, combat and culture in the United States,” which is the result of mobile traffic analysis from major US mobile operators.

Malmö, Sweden: Anyfi Networks has released Anyfi.net - a mobility platform that makes Wi-Fi as easy to use on the go as it is at home.

”Public Wi-Fi is often insecure and difficult to use” said Johan Almbladh, CTO of Anyfi Networks. ”Anyfi.net is an access point software extension that solves this problem. Instead of fiddling with logins and passwords your device just connects automatically, to your own home network, and there´s absolutely nothing you have to do. No apps to install, no registration, nothing. It just works, and it´s secure.”
