Kaspersky Lab’s recent survey surprisingly found that e-commerce, online retailers and financial service providers are not just the biggest sources of stolen financial data, but also feel just a bit too lax about security. However, this has some severe implications.

New mobile and wearable devices offer users a robust set of innovative features and utilities but they often face the same traditional threats as old fashioned computers.

A while ago we “celebrated” 10 years since the first smartphone malware emerged. While we made the first Symbian antivirus in 2004, it doesn’t mean that we had no mobile security products before that. It was hard to unearth and boot an antique handheld from early 2000s, and even harder to find, install and launch our old software. Yes, it’s long obsolete, but there’s a reason for all these efforts. Read about it in our new blog post.

Small businesses are unwilling to invest in security solutions – often because they don’t think there are any – designed specifically for their needs. But such solutions do exist.
