Abstract

ABSTRACTAs technology is constantly evolving, modern conveniences such as mobile devices have changed the way that society performs its daily routines and functions as a whole. Because the evolution of technology has made it almost a requirement for citizens to possess mobile device, this increase in ownership of mobile devices has also brought security issues such as phishing. A phisher intends to obtain information that will aid the hacker by appearing to the unsuspecting owner as a trustworthy entity. The goal of phishing is to fool the owners of mobile devices into giving the attacker sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, as well as credit and debit card information. In this paper, we provide a taxonomy of mobile anti-phishing techniques on mobile devices and mitigation techniques that are available for use on mobile devices. Our goal is to provide an informative model to identify current solutions in reducing phishing attacks on mobile devices and outline limitations and future challenges.
