So there's also, you know, mobile hacking with the URLs similar to PCs, mobile devices are commonly
compromised through using malicious URLs.
So you might get a text from a random number, like I said before, that, hey, your payment was declined.
Please click here you your payment information.
This is pretty typical with mobile phones and it's just referred to as smushing or estimate's phishing.
Please avoid clicking any suspicious links via text that you did not expect and they might come from
our numbers and their contact information.
Those are red flags.
Please do not click these links or you will.
Something will happen.
Some mobile vulnerabilities and countermeasures, just like with computers, mobile devices face the
constant threat of new vulnerabilities, popping up operating systems and software and, you know,
installing a device constantly have security patches being pushed out and also developed at the same
time.
When bodies are discovered, mobile devices are vulnerable to malware, to contrary to some people's
beliefs.
So you need to take care and make sure that your device is protected.
So a couple of countermeasures that you can take include installing a good malware program on your phone
like Biddeford or Perski.
They are free and they will protect you.
Configure your apps to always allow auto updates, because this is going to allow you, instead of letting
you know an application has a serious vulnerability, sit on your phone and updated for six months.
Set your ass off to auto update so you don't have to worry about it.
When the developers push out a patch to fix the security issue, you will get on your phone, make sure
also that you install the latest OS patches when they're released.
Usually you're you're going to get a notification like, hey, the newest version of Android, hey,
the security patches out, install those right when you see that, because the longer you wait, the
more vulnerable you possibly are.
And trust me, you're more vulnerable than you think you are.
The mobile device.
