iPad Security Concerns
(ITBusinessEdge) by Kara Reeder
Although the Apple’s iPad has not officially been released, experts are already talking about possible security concerns, reports CNET News. There are a lot of “ifs,” but it’s still worth considering.
Daniel Hoffman, chief technology officer at SMobile Systems, says the iPad could suffer from a number of security issues. If the iPad uses the same encryption as the iPhone, sensitive personal data, such as phone numbers and e-mail addresses, could be at risk of being seen. If iPad users get their apps from the Apps Store, they are at risk of getting malicious apps. An like any other device, the iPad also is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Still, lots of people are eager to get their hands on one, including IT Business Edge’s Ann All.
