Watch out for these cyberattacks that can turn smartphones into texting
botnets, shut off electricity, jam GPS signals and more!

Computerworld - Criminal hackers never sleep, it seems. Just when you
think you've battened down the hatches and fully protected yourself or
your business from electronic security risks, along comes a new exploit
to keep you up at night. It might be an SMS text message with a
malevolent payload or a stalker who dogs your every step online. Or
maybe it's an emerging technology like in-car Wi-Fi that suddenly
creates a whole new attack vector.


Whether you're an IT manager protecting employees and corporate systems
or you're simply trying to keep your own personal data safe, these
threats -- some rapidly growing, others still emerging -- pose a
potential risk. Fortunately, there are some security procedures and
tools available to help you win the fight against the bad guys.
