Mobile Phones – Intruder’s Next Target


Cell phones are the next aim of the hackers after they have tried their hands in almost all electronic devices. Even the latest mobile devices like androids and smartphones too are not safe. Mobile phones these days serve as a mini computing device with an array of modern apps and internet connection. It is the glitch in the chip manufacture that has induced the hackers more. 

Presently, many security measures are being adopted by the cell phone manufacturers, but still these devices are susceptible to hacking. Hackers target the Bluetooth mobile devices more than the ordinary ones.
