The following are examples of mobile phone vulnerabilities and exploits:

-Location snooping: Activation of Internet Protocol (IP)/browser tracking to monitor location

-Stealing transaction codes: Commonly used for man-in-the-middle attacks against online banking sites

-Participating in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks as part of a botnet: Hijacking the phone to participate in mass attacks on a third-party networkfor example, by sending out Domain Name System (DNS) or Network Time Protocol (NTP) requests

-Posting to social media sites: Typically done to harass or embarrass the user

-SMS redirection: Used for eavesdropping and potential extortion

For this discussion, you should address:

Which vulnerabilities or exploits most likely impact consumers more than organizations that allow the use of bring your own device (BYOD) in the workplace? What are the potential impacts to the consumer?

Which vulnerabilities or exploits most likely impact organizations, that allow BYOD, more than consumers? What are the potential impacts to an organization?
