A new report warns of a growing threat of mobile phishing targeting SMS and messaging apps.
Mobile-specific weaknesses, such as smaller screen sizes and touch-based interactions, are exploited by cybercriminals to carry out large-scale phishing campaigns.
Attackers leverage SMS, messaging apps, and QR codes to trick users into revealing sensitive information or downloading malicious software.
Mobile users with smaller screens are less likely to verify URLs, and the trust in mobile messaging apps makes phishing attempts more successful.
