You have the ability now to make a payment with your phone by just hovering it over a device; you can also use SMS messaging, text messaging, for payment. I think that now we have that platform, you're going to see more and more threats and attacks toward that, trying to use the phone as a form of payment or [for] fraudulent service charges.
