Mobile Browser Threats are Surging—Here’s How to Stay Protected

“Mobile browsers are now the top target for phishing and data theft. Legacy tools like VPNs and MDM can’t protect what happens inside the browser. Mammoth delivers a secure, zero-trust workspace built for today’s mobile-first enterprise.”


 — Michael Shieh, CEO of Mammoth Cyber

In today’s mobile-first workplace, employees are accessing critical business apps from everywhere—and cybercriminals know it. Recent attacks show that mobile browsers have become the top target for phishing, credential theft, and session hijacking, yet most organizations still rely on outdated tools like VPNs and MDM to protect them.

From the FBI’s March 2025 smishing warning to recent exploits in Google Chrome and Apple AirPlay, it’s clear: traditional mobile security tools can’t defend what happens inside the browser.

Recent Mobile Security Threats (April–May 2025)

  • CVE-2025-27363 (Android) – A zero-click local code execution vulnerability under active exploitation.
  • Operation ForumTroll – A targeted phishing and espionage campaign using Chrome-based exploits.
  • Malicious Google Ads – Redirecting mobile users to fake portals for credential harvesting.
  • SparkCat Malware – A mobile app using OCR to extract sensitive info from screenshots.
  • AirPlay Exploit – Malware spreading via microphone access on third-party Apple-connected devices.

Why Traditional Mobile Security Falls Short

  • MDM cannot monitor or block browser-based threats like phishing or smishing.
  • VPNs encrypt traffic but cannot prevent users from entering credentials into spoofed login pages.
  • Device certificates don’t separate personal and enterprise activity, creating privacy friction.

These tools weren’t designed for modern SaaS usage or hybrid work environments. Today’s mobile workforce needs browser-first security.
