Four Ways The Bad Guys Attack Mobile Devices

This blog post outlines four primary mobile attack vectors—network-based attacks, device exploits, phishing, and malicious apps—and maps them to a kill‑chain style intrusion model (scan, identify, deploy, elevate, RAT, exfiltrate). It focuses on Man‑in‑the‑Middle attacks (rogue Wi‑Fi/AP, traffic redirection and inspection, SSL stripping, proxy/VPN profiles) and gives examples including an Android app that scanned networks for WannaCry‑vulnerable Windows devices, concluding with a preview of mitigation guidance in a future article.
