According the Mobile Data Association (MDA), although there are potential virus risks in contactless mobile payments, there are sufficient controls in place to combat these.
Mike Hawkes, chairman of the (MDA), said:
"It's somewhat more difficult to put out a virus that will work across all devices. If you consider how many various handsets and types of software there are, it's actually very difficult to put something into a handset that can propagate onto other devices.
The conventional viral models are actually very difficult to put onto mobile networks. The networks themselves are also very proactive in this area; the likes of O2 and Orange are extremely good at preventing viruses from coming down to handsets over the air."
