Just like the PC scams, bad guys are using social engineering through mobile apps, email messages and SMS text messages, which take advantage of human behavior and trust to gain access to data or infiltrate businesses, to make people click on links. Malware then ends up on the user’s PC. The most common source of the infection is from manually downloading software that claims to be a video player from a website other than the Google Play App Store.
An infected mobile device allows you to breach an organization's perimeter and directly attack the devices on the network instead of having to break in some other way,as you've already got direct network access.
Gangs are also using malware on PCs to infiltrate mobile phones in hybrid attacks on user’s banking accounts.
Mobile device malware and scams will only increase as users pack their mobile phones with more rich and sensitive data – and the implications will be even greater for businesses that hire young workers. Lack of security features and security softwares installed in mobile phones is the main reason for it all.
