Zimperium zLabs' research highlights the evolving landscape of mobile threats, revealing that approximately 50% of devices operate on outdated systems, creating security vulnerabilities. The study found that mobile phishing, particularly through SMS (smishing), constitutes nearly one-third of recorded threats, with significant increases in both vishing and smishing attacks. Additionally, more than 60% of third-party mobile components lack proper software bills of materials (SBOMs). Concerns arise over sideloaded apps on enterprise devices, further complicating the security scenario. Experts emphasize layered security and user education as critical measures to combat the rising threats.
The rise of sophisticated and large-scale mobile phishing campaigns reflects the evolving threat landscape targeting mobile users.
Organizations must adopt a layered security approach to combat such attacks. Employee education is vital for raising awareness about mobile phishing attempts.
