Virus fears send shudders through wireless users
IBM IS warning of an epidemic of viruses and worms attacking handheld devices, cellphones, wireless networks and embedded computers this year.
According to the IBM Global Business Security Index Report for 2004, e-mail worms and viruses wrought the most havoc on corporate networks last year.
Big Blue is becoming increasingly alarmed about the growing number of viruses aimed at PDAs and other mobile devices that started to appear towards the year's end.
The company predicts that such worms will likely be used by copycats and may spur an epidemic of viruses aimed at mobile devices in 2005.
