INSECURITY experts claim that mobile banking might be more secure than PC transactions, but there will need to be a shake up in the future.

According to CNET, punters are a bit reluctant to download applications from banks to do their online transactions over the phone. However they are pretty secure. The biggest security risk is that you might lose the phone.

With so many platforms it is difficult for hackers to get virus laden software distributed. However experts now say that as more payments move over to mobile devices because criminals will put more focus there.

The best method, the experts claim, will be spoofing. µ

Linux is like Christianity, you don't realize how awesome everything is until you're totally committed.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
