Smartphone users have once again been urged to ensure they keep their devices protected after a huge rise in mobile threats last year.
New research from Kaspersky found that attacks targeting personal data on mobile devices saw a significant increase throughout 2019 as hackers continued their assault.
Overall, Kaspersky detected more than 67,500 cases in 2019, with mobile advertising trojans and so-called “stalkerware” seeing particularly strong increases, as the number of the attacks during the second half of the year doubled when compared to the first half.
