International. The most popular services and platforms of 2010, such as Android, iPhone, Mac OS X, among others, would be targeted by cybercriminals, according to a report of threat predictions for 2011 published by the company in security technology, McAfee, which estimates a possible repetition of the so-called "WikiLeaks phenomenon" caused by an increase in vulnerabilities, attacks and data loss.According to the report, the trend in 2011 will be the use of bots for data collection and deletion, exploitation of abbreviated URLs on services such as Twitter that redirect users to malicious websites and geo-location services such as Foursquare, Gowalla and Facebook Places that facilitate the search for people in real time.
On the other hand, Apple's Mac OS platform can also be affected, since its users tend to believe that it is immune and do not install adequate protection systems, becoming potential victims of Trojans and bots.
