State-Sponsored CyberAttacks Expected To Rise 33
wiredmikey writes "According to a report released today, IT security professionals will see a rise in State-sponsored attacks, like the Stuxnet worm, that will build on concepts and techniques from the commercial hacker industry to create more powerful 'Advanced Persistent Threats.' The researchers also expect an increase in compromised mobile devices leading to data theft or loss as a result of lagging security measures, and that next year will bring the first major data breaches as a result of compromised devices. The biggest potential impact will be caused by the proliferation of sophisticated mobile devices interacting with corporate networks."

just because a prediction is untestable has no bearing on it's accuracy.

It has a huge bearing on its accuracy, you can't BE accurate without testing it!
"Aliens live on mars" - I can claim that is an accurate prediction so long as we do not test that claim.

I want to see this force carriers to make available up-to-date software on phones, even if they're a year or two old.
