The highest rate of mobile phishing in history were observed in 2022, with half of the mobile phone owners worldwide exposed to a phishing attack every quarter, according to Lookout.
These finding come from the endpoint security provider’s Global State of Mobile Phishing Report, published on March 1, 2023.
While unprecedented, this rate confirms a trend that dates back three years and the report shows that mobile phishing encounters have increased every quarter since Q2 2020. These figures only encompass personal mobile phones.
Lookout also investigated the evolution of mobile phishing on professional devices, and since 2021 mobile phishing encounter rates have increased by roughly 10% for enterprise phones.
