He also warned that we could expect malware to be written for games consoles and smartphones. "Hackers who develop code for computers don't know how to write for smartphones," Kaspersky said.

Doesn't Kaspersky have some sort of business relationship with Microsoft? Seems like he's involved in Forefront or some other MS product.
