The most common mobile malware attacks include viruses, worms, mobile bots, mobile phishing attacks, ransomware, spyware and Trojans. Mobile malware developers, also called cybercriminals, may have one or several objectives, including stealing data, signing users up for services and charging them fees for services they did not agree to or locking a device or data and demanding money for its release.
Mobile malware is becoming a challenge to the security industry as attacks increase in frequency and strength. Although mobile malware is not as pervasive as malware that attacks traditional workstations, it is a growing threat to consumer devices. These types of malware rely on exploits of particular mobile operating systems and mobile phone technology. Mobile malware is malicious software specifically written to attack mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
