In 2016 Smartphones, IoT and Mobile Payment at Top of List for Break-ins

Malware will grow. Attacks on Android and other mobile devices will continue. And payment platforms and the Internet of Things will become sources for new kinds of security vulnerabilities. These all surface as predictions from security vendor Panda Software for the new year.
Panda security researchers predict rapid continued growth of new forms of malware, particularly code tucked inside JavaScript and PowerShell. The latter is a Windows 10 automation tool that allows scripts to be executed, which, Panda reported, "could be used to attack users."
Cyber criminals will also turn to tried and true methods such as the use of exploit kits to reach as many people and machines as possible. That reach will include malware on smartphones, especially on Android, the most popular mobile operating system on the market, Panda predicted.
