powerful new mobile phones and portable computers will also be targets as thieves try to bypass tight security to steal emails, documents or contacts, security firm mcafee said.

"corporate espionage is big business," its report says. "data is often priceless property. stealing trade secrets, information or contacts is a lucrative money-spinner for cybercriminals."
