Re: Your Blackberry...Is It At Risk?

One thing that is somewhat concerning about the virus/spyware issue currently is that in the last quarter, 89% of these issues were delivered either by adobe or java exploits.  In the Blackberry world, the java part of the last sentence is what is scary.  Since Blackberries are java based, there is more potential for the infections in the future. 

 

Now blackberries are not the only possible device to be infected.  It was somewhat wide known that the first generation iPhone could be taken complete control over if it was in the same wireless range as a computer that could attack it!  Pretty scary.  There are lots of main stream anti-virus products out there that are now also focusing on smart phone protection but I personally do not know of anyone that uses it yet.

 

So really the question is, when do people seriously look at getting AV for their phone?  Soon or too late.
