funsec: Re: 2013 predictions...

["Blanchard, Michael (InfoSec)" <michael.blanchard () emc com>]

Mobile attacks and phishing will certainly be more via SMS texting than anything else I feel.

Everyone reads all their texts, and folks are much more likely to follow a link within a text message than through an 
email message...  It's an easy attack vector....

Mobile offers homogeneous targets, but also targets which can be fixed,
overnight, by vendors with deep pockets.

I predict more-of-the-same for 2013, but with a more litigious slant. As
attacks are ever more directed and focused in nature, users will start to
view their vendors as culpable.
