BEWARE: Your smartphone is highly vulnerable to phishing attacks!
And contrary to popular belief:
ALL Apple and Android devices are targets that can be compromised.
THE FACTS:
- Mobile attacks have increased 66% in the past year.
- We all click on links in mobile phishing messages at higher rates than we do on laptops and desktops.
- We all work very quickly on mobile devices and this makes us VERY vulnerable.
- 85% of mobile attacks are NOT delivered by email.
- Attacks come in Texts, Games, Facebook Messenger, and other Social Network Messages.
- They also come in links and documents that look like a protected document from a trusted source.
- Attacks that spoof a website login page appear very authentic.
DON’T BE A VICTIM:
- SLOW DOWN on your mobile device.
- Beware of texts, games, social network messages, links, and documents.
- Don’t let your guard down.
- Be vigilant always.
As always, we are here to help you protect yourself, your company, and your clients.
