ITGS smartphones hackers

  • A comparison of these statistics to the worldwide smartphone population places the number of infected devices globally in the millions. Because the vast majority of these infections are designed to be stealthy and the fact few smartphones have Anti-Malware applications, most infected users are unaware their devices have been compromised.

      These are the benefits of using smartphones. However, the Social and Ethical Issue may be "Equality of Access" because it is possible that not everybody could afford one of these phones.

      This also shows us the Area of Impact, "Business and Employment." Business people are the ones who use the phones in order to stay connected with their clients.
  • Dependable, easy-to-use and high-quality mobile solutions pay for themselves quickly by enabling small businesses to be more responsive, efficient and productive, and allowing them to do more with fewer resources.”

      These elements need to be worked on in order to make these phones even better.

    This news article specifies the considerations of using a cellphone to make secure payments. In order to make secure transactions using one's cellphone, a certain procedure must take place. Of course, the mobile phone must have access to the internet, and will go to any website of their choice in which they find something they want to buy, or to simply pay a bill. Also, this can be done using an "application" such as PayPal. PayPal is technically more secure considering that a consumer would only have to write they're credit card information in one place. But with so many people using it, it becomes easier for hackers to access this data, especially with vast quantities of money in the savings. Afterwards, no matter which way you started a transaction, encryptions are always used to transform the that so that only the consumer and business company can read the transaction with the decryption. One possible stakeholder is the consumer whom is indeed effected by making payments using their mobile devices. It's only been recently that they began trusting the internet using a computer, but using the internet via cellphone is a new change that must take time to adjust to. But they are effected since hackers can easily take their money. Plus a third party, can occur during the process of the transaction while the consumer is using another window, and might not notice that they're information is not only going to the business itself. These are all issues of security.
