The prediction I find most interesting is that Apple computers will be targeted next year. Another prediction is of course that smartphones will targeted.

I think that Linux minus Android will never become an attractive target for commercially oriented criminals. Too few users, I hate to write that.

A gadget with no against malware is a decent spot for malevolent programming and on the off chance that one can get in then hundreds can get in. One infection on a PC can drag it down a considerable amount, however various infections can make a PC almost incapable.
