OS X and Mobile getting an Increased amount of cyber attacks

Every year Kaspersky Lab experts evaluate the level of cyber-threats. This year they found a large growth in attacks on users of Apple OS X and on devices like mobile phones.

Their report claims that 100,000 Apple OS X users have been targeted in the US alone and that iOS and Android Mobile Phones and Tablets are getting a lot more attention from Cyber-criminals as they are seen as an easier target due to the severe lack of users not using any kind of Anti-Virus Software.

Adware programs and so called "ransom-ware" have became some of the more popular methods of attack on users across all devices, reports Kaspersky.

We at OC3D strongly urge our readers to take protective measures against cyber attacks by installing anti-virus and anti-malware software on all their devices, especially on your Apple and Mobile devices.
