2023 Global Mobile Threat Report: Key Insights on the State of Mobile Security

Zimperium's 2023 Global Mobile Threat Report highlights a sharp increase in mobile threats over the prior year: unique mobile malware samples rose ~51% (over 920,000 samples), several large campaigns (Dark Herring, TeaBot, RatMilad) impacted millions, mobile-targeted phishing grew more effective (SMS phishing far more successful than email), and critical vulnerabilities on Android and zero-day exploitation on iOS increased—demonstrating that no major mobile platform is immune and that organizations must adopt mobile-first security strategies.
