Abstract & Overview
Mobile phones have become essential tools in everyday life, making them attractive targets for a wide range of security threats. This research aims to review and analyze existing scientific literature related to threats affecting mobile phones in order to identify the most common current threats and the countermeasures used to mitigate them. Through a systematic analysis of relevant studies, the findings reveal that user awareness plays a critical role in confronting mobile phone security threats. Many effective countermeasures depend largely on user behavior, including regularly updating the operating system, downloading applications only from trusted sources, and avoiding interaction with fraudulent links, messages, or calls. The study highlights that mobile phone threats remain a significant and growing security concern, requiring continuous research and improved protective strategies to safeguard both devices and user information. Enhancing user awareness is identified as a key factor in reducing risks and improving overall mobile security.
