Interested in getting more in-depth information on our attacks? Read about how we did the Wi-Fi attack here and the mobile malware attack here.
Tonight, 60 Minutes featured Lookout co-founder John Hering and a number of other well-known and respected security researchers demonstrating mobile attacks.
This snippet of conversation from the segment, captures the reality of mobile security:
60 Minutes’ Sharyn Alfonsi: “Is everything hackable?”
Hering: “Yes.”
A: “Everything?”
H: “Yes.”
A: “If somebody tells you, ‘You can’t do it’?”
H: “I wouldn’t believe them.”
As the segment continues a number of ways smartphones can be attacked are shown. For example, John explains the issues with spoofed Wi-Fi networks that, when connected to, could give an attacker a live view of the activity on your device. The segment also looks at an attack that uses only a phone number to spy on a targeted device.

The Lookout app that is "free" is junk and the premium rate is $2.99 per month (still think it's Free?) and $29.99 per year (sorry, not Free!).
Why tell people you are never protected, and then turn around and try to sell your crap to the public. Hmmmmm!
