Hacking Cell phones and Mobile devices: Implications for Corporate Information Security Introduction: Hacking in its general terms is defined as the process in which an attacker(hacker) tries to find out the weaknesses in a computer system and exploits them. Motivation/Reasons: There are multiple reasons for the motivation of this cause, such as: 1. Profits (includes both financial and non-financial), 2. Enjoyment (just for fun), 3. Challenges (to test one s skills), or 4. To find flaws in one s own system so as to safeguard it against other attackers(Ethical Hacking).
