Why mobile security? A brief look at the mobile threat landscape in India.
A recent ASSOCHAM-PwC study estimates the Indian smartphone user base to swell to 859 million by 2022 – becoming twice the size it was in 2017.
This development will be accompanied by an explosion in the average monthly data consumption per device.
The country is also projected to clock the fastest growth in digital payments transaction value, which will reach $135.2 billion by 2023.
Encouraging as they are, these developments are also making Indian mobile users a lucrative target by increasing the attack surface area for Cyber-criminals.
Quick Heal detected and stopped over 3.5 million malware threats targeted at mobile devices in 2018 in the form of Banking Trojans, Spyware, Fake Apps and Mobile Ransomware among others.
Having previously highlighted how Cybercriminals propagate malware through unverified apps on third-party app stores, Quick Heal has recently flagged several malicious applications on popular app stores designed to steal sensitive user data.
Hope the above info helped you. Stay tuned for more updates as such. Soon.
