The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) has published a new report (PDF) in which it warns of the possible security threats posed by the smartphone.
ENISA is an agency of the European Union and its new report identifies the top security risks of smartphone use, as well as offering some practical security advice for businesses, consumers and governments.
The ENISA report comes after analyst house Gartner revealed in early November that worldwide mobile phone sales had grown by 35 percent in the third quarter. However that was nothing compared to the 96 percent rise in smartphone sales during the same period, with 80 million smartphones sold in that period alone.
