Games consoles like the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii are vulnerable to malicious viruses and phishing attacks. That's according to Symantec, which has been researching the security vulnerabilities of home appliances.
"As we access the web on all these different devices, we inherit web problems such as phishing - those types of online attacks and potentially malicious code as well," he said. "These are definitely problems for the future which need to be addressed."
"How long before we see remote arbitrary code execution-type vulnerabilities? I think proof of concept we'll see them within two years. Maybe not mass usage for another five years.
Whitehouse also said that the Microsoft Xbox 360 is more secure than the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 due to the security implemented in every 360 game and piece of software.
