We all own smart devices. Every year it is a competition between different companies to make smarter device. These smart devices run by apps. Apple is of course leading the app market closely followed by Google Android. Just like the devices, the apps are getting smarter too and as we use more and more apps everyday it is helping the apps to be even smarter.

We all face the window when installing a window saying, “_____ wants to access to your contacts” or “_____ wants use your location.” Time to time we all press ‘yes’ depending on the apps. While I was reading Molly Wood’s article, I realized how dangerous it is become in terms of privacy.

On my last blog, I was focusing on cybercrime on different websites, but this one in my opinion can have worse impact. Hackers are desperately trying to hack to phone OS systems. Apple just released IOS 7.0.6 mainly because of the security threats. We use our phones to access our emails, text messages, and even bank accounts. We definitely should be aware what apps we use in our phones and stay away from connecting our phones with insecure servers (yes that includes Starbucks Wifi as well!!)
