First, they came for my telephone with the telemarketing scams. Next, they came for my CB radio with Smokeys impersonating the truckers and setting up speed traps. Then, they came for my desktop computer with viruses and Nigerian 419 scams And then for my laptop computer with worms, phishes, Trojans and all other types of malware! Finally, they said they were coming for my mobile smartphone!
A malware researcher from Kaspersky Lab Americas agrees with me and says that if you own a Google Wave, iPhone or any other Android (or Droid if you're in the cool crowd) smartphone, then you may be affected by a cyberattack this year.

A malware researcher from Kaspersky Lab Americas agrees with me and says that if you own a Google Wave, iPhone or any other Android (or Droid if you're in the cool crowd) smartphone, then you may be affected by a cyberattack this year.
Schouwenberg, a senior malware researcher at Kaspersky Lab Americas, predicts Google Wave will grab headlines in coming months -- but not necessarily for emerging as the next killer online networking app. Instead, he says, Google Wave is likely to become a top target of cyber criminals.
"Attacks on this new Google service will no doubt follow the usual pattern," Schouwenberg soothsays. "First, the sending of spam, followed by phishing attacks, then the exploiting of vulnerabilities and the spreading of malware."
