BEWARE: Your smartphone is highly vulnerable to phishing attacks!

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.
