Aside from your partner, children, or parents,
what is the most intimate relationship in your
life? It's our cell phone for many of us. It's
the last thing we see before going to bed, and
it's usually the first thing we pick up in the
morning. Therefore, the platform that is
constantly connected, always-on, and almost
always within inches of our bodies must be
protected.

• Let's look at the six threats that we see most
  frequently in the mobile landscape
• Malicious Apps
• While the number of malicious apps targeting
  mobile devices is lower than desktops, these apps
  are common, particularly those targeting the
  Android platform. The number of malicious apps
  detected in Android endpoint protection has
  steadily increased over the last year. The
  malicious app seen includes words like Chrome,
  voicemail, and video player.
• Phishing
• Mobile phishing attacks, also known as smishing,
  do not only target a device via SMS. They can
  also be directed at other popular messaging apps,
  such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. These
  attacks, posing as technical support, solicit
  credentials over the phone or trick users into
  installing remote access tools on a mobile device
  or a computer. On the mobile phone, we also see
  vishing (voice phishing).
• Calendar Spam
• ICS or iCalendar files, which are used to
  schedule events and meetings on Apple devices,
  are used by spammers to target iOS devices. These
  files can also be used to sign up for calendar
  subscriptions. When you click on an event in one
  of these spam calendars, you may be taken to a
  page with malicious links or scams. Users will be
  invited to calendars that are filled with spam,
  effectively rendering the calendar useless.

• Overlays
• Overlays feature allows apps to be stacked on top
  of each other. This strategy isn't for the faint
  of heart. Consider a banking app with a malicious
  app overlaid on it, but only in the credential
  area. As far as the user is concerned, the
  credentials entered appear to be sent to the
  banking application. They are, however, heading
  straight for the perpetrator. 
• Spyware
• Zero-click exploits of vulnerabilities can infect
  a device via a phone call or a text message. That
  is all it takes for the exploit to enter the
  system, execute the payload, and install spyware.
  Other exploitations require only a single click.
  The payload is executed as soon as a message is
  opened.
• Stalkerware
• Stalkerware is another threat that looks and acts
  like spyware but poses a far greater threat to
  the average user. These apps have features such
  as pinpointing a device's exact location, reading
  SMS messages, taking photos or videos, and
  recording conversations.
