On rising danger of information theft from cell phones:

One of the things that has happened is, I've been doing this now for 20-plus years, and all the security breaches used to be kids showing off to their friends, right? Trying to get famous ... It's no longer that. It's now about how do I get onto your computer and try to steal information that I can use to make money."

JOHN CHEN, CEO OF SYBASE INC (SY.N)
