Researchers Expect Hackers to Prey on Cell Phones

Security researchers say that cell phones are the next big target for hackers and that, instead of seeing zombie PC networks in the future, we could see zombie cell phone networks.

The report identifies the growing power of cell phones to open a new avenue of attack for hackers. Of particular concern is that as cell phones get more computing power and better Internet connections, hackers can capitalize on vulnerabilities in mobile-phone operating systems or Web applications.
