Hackers May Hit Mobile Devices in 2006

Mobile devices, Cisco routers, Oracle software, VoIP: businesses can expect all these and more to become hacker targets in the next year and beyond, according to Symantec. Oh, and don't forget Windows Vista, Microsoft's next-generation operating system. They're all places that the financially-motivated new generation of hackers might look to exploit.

Although there haven't been any widespread attacks, cell phones and mobile devices will become more ripe for hacking as software becomes interoperable and financial data climbs onto their hard drives and networks.
