Abstract

Mobile phones have taken a crucial part in today’s transferable computer world. Mobile devices are more popular these days because of their small screen size, lower production cost, and portability. Because of their popularity, these devices seem to be a perfect target of harmful malicious attacks like mobile phishing. In this attack, the attackers usually send the fake link via emails, SMS message, messenger, WhatsApp, etc. and ask for some credential data. Mobile phishing is fooling the users to get the sensitive personal information. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of mobile phishing attacks, their exploitation, some of the recent solutions for phishing detection. Our survey provides a good understanding of the mobile phishing problem and currently available solutions with the future scope to deal with mobile phishing attacks conveniently.
