The use of so-called mashup technologies will present a variety of new and potentially damaging internet security threats, it has been suggested.
Mashups incorporate a range of different media information and this data could require a new strategy for protecting data from online threats, John Hunt asserted recently when writing for the RegDeveloper website.
