According to the report “The Global State of Mobile Phishing”, more than half of mobile work devices were the target of a mobile phishing attack in 2022. This led to high costs for companies.
While remote employment has become a new reality for companies around the world, many are still struggling to secure the new mobile environments.

According to “The Global State of Mobile Phishing” report published by Lookout, 2022 has already seen the highest rate of phishing attacks on mobile devices to date, with more than 50 percent of these personal work assets having already been exposed to a mobile phishing attack. Lookout estimates the potential financial loss of a mobile phishing attack to be nearly $5.000 million per year for a company with 4 employees.
