When was the last time you received a phishing attempt through text? I’m guessing it was earlier this week, if not at some point today. Being part of the cybersecurity community keeps us watchful and aware of the ways scammers try to steal our information. But how adept are our parents at spotting these scams? The dangers of online scams and mobile phishing are real and everywhere. Yet, many of our parents and grandparents are navigating this new form of deception without much understanding.

From the inception of the Internet, data security has become a paramount concern.

In the digital age, Android vulnerability scanners, or as some may call them, android app vulnerability scanners, have become an essential tool for maintaining the security of mobile applications. Given Android’s substantial mobile OS market share, it’s a prime target for cyber threats.

Keeper Security is excited to announce a significant update to our Android app that we think users will love. This update is heavily focused on bringing the same fresh, modern look to our Android user interface that our Web and Desktop received earlier this year and iOS just last month.

Cybercriminals can't ascertain your phone password just from a Wi-Fi signal, but they can come close according to a method described in a recent research paper. Researchers have demonstrated a method that uses Wi-Fi signals to infer numerical passwords, and the mechanics behind it are nothing short of intriguing. Side-channel attacks often remind me of James Bond-like espionage. So does a research paper that is to appear at ACM CCS later this year.

On September 7, 2023, Apple released emergency security updates to fix a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2023-41064) and a validation issue vulnerability (CVE-2023-41061) among macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS products. These vulnerabilities can be exploited with a maliciously crafted attachment or image which leads to arbitrary code execution.

Android, an operating system developed by Google, has become a staple in our lives, powering smartphones, car systems, tablets, and much more. With over 70% of the mobile OS market share and embedded in over 1.5 billion devices worldwide, the Android platform is an enticing target for threat actors.

Arguably, the most used device by an organization’s employees is their smartphone. Ensuring that anyone, from the CEO to a newcomer being onboarded, knows how to keep this device safe should be paramount. Why? Globally, more than 2 million attacks on mobile devices are reported each month, according to Statista. While the number of attacks has dropped precipitously from its peak of 6.5 million in October 2020, it is still dangerously high and a favorite threat actor attack vector.
