Different devices with different threats call for tailored solutions

With summer on its way and tablets, smartphones and laptops booming, Trend Micro is helping consumers stay as up-to-date with their internet security as the technology itself – and just in time for summer vacation.

iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The Web is increasingly being used by cybercriminals to steal personal and financial information. They use legitimate-appearing phishing sites; plant spyware and malware on genuine web pages; and use redirects that lead you to malicious web pages without your action or knowledge. Any device that can access the Internet is at risk, including iPhones and iPod Touches.

Android devices. The Android platform, being the second largest mobile platform on the market today with a growth rate of over 850 percent, is already in cybercriminals' crosshairs with malware being developed specifically for smartphones using the Android OS., such as the recent 'Gemini' and 'Trojan-SMS' attacks.

Laptops and netbooks. Traditional laptops and the newcomer netbook category are commonly used for general computing and accessing Web-based applications, in addition to content creation. Therefore, it's no secret that cybercriminals develop malware, viruses, etc., ideal for hijacking your hard drive and extracting personal data for financial gain.

File storage. Transferring data from device to device enables different opportunities for threats to penetrate your personal information. USB malware is no urban myth. In addition, you run the risk of losing your data when storing it temporarily on a device that may or may not have the necessary protection.
