Government sites targeted by hackers

Blimey! So peoples worries about mobile phone security are starting to get justified!

Sounds like a bit of an own goal though by the sites web designers. They should have thought through the security element, as a govt job site is an obvious target.

Definitely. But then again, there are millions of sites out there that can infect your PC with a trojan that could do any kind of damage, be it mobile or not.

My antivirus has a web rep function, so basically, if the site has a green rep, I go to those sites, if not, I steer clear. Trojans are nasty little suckers to get rid of. That's basically all you can really do. Make sure your system is up to date and in lockdown, and if a site asks for personal details, be careful what info you give them.

lol same old same old, but its better to be safe on your side, than trust an unknown webmaster to make sure their site is secured.

A lot of this is because people don't understand or choose not to understand the risks of online usage. Especially in today's word. They choose simple, easy to guess passwords and use the same one for EVERYTHING. Nearly all my accounts have different passwords from each other.
