Skycure CEO, Adi Sharabani said one indication of the mobile device hacker attacks via WiFi can be seen emergency frequency frequent application crashes when accessed."Many users are berbanggapan that the crash that occurred when opening the app is a technical problem. Many thought that it was just a bug contained in the application, but our study said more than that," said Sharabani as quoted from page Business Insider on Thursday ( 04.23.2015).
In his research, the Skycure found indications that hackers began using WiFi networks to conduct DDoS attacks to users of mobile devices. The DDoS attack is directed is to create damage to the application.
DDoS Attack itself is a form of attack that is carried out on a computer system or a server (in this case application) contained in the Internet network. The purpose of this type of attack is to create applications that attacked hassles and can not be accessed by the user.
When viewed as fundamental, the concept is actually quite simple DDoS attack. Perpetrator or hacker will create a lot of network 'fake computer' alias 'booter' which is used to make the request (request command) to a target application. In this way, hackers can overwhelm the application you want to be attacked with a fake request, so that the application was overwhelmed and eventually collapsed (crash).
Having fallen overall application, a hacker can easily infiltrate into hardwares mobile users and collect a variety of important data.
Skycure claimed to have found this type of attack to the number of device operating system iOS (iPhone and iPad). One of the main causes is, many users of mobile devices that are often not aware when the device is connected to a WiFi network amid dangerous had been prepared by the hackers.
"There's nothing you can do to cope with this type of attack. The best thing is to be careful when they want to access a public WiFi network.
