Mobile users unaware of cyber threats
Mobile devices are more popular than ever, but their owners still underestimate the danger they may face from cybercriminals, with 28% of global users knowing nothing or very little about mobile malware. This is according to a survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab and B2B International. The survey shows that in South Africa, only 58% of Android-based smartphones and 61% of Android tablets are protected by an anti-virus solution, while 33% of smartphones and 40% of tablets locally are not even password-protected.
