Dr. Doug Twitchell, Associate Proffessor in the School of Information Technology, was interviewed and quoted by The Pantagraph in an article on the increasing popularity of banking by smartphone and the related information security issues.
“With mobile applications, I don’t think there’s too much problem right now because the attackers who want to steal information haven’t zeroed in on mobile devices,” said Twitchell. But he said it is always a battle to stay ahead of hackers trying to gain secure information, and that it could become a problem when use of mobile banking becomes prevalent.
