The answer to Cyber-criminals
According to Silent Circle, mobile devices are an integral part of everyday human life, wherein people uses these devices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Smartphones have already replaced computers, cameras, and is also helping humans in completing various day-to-day works like emailing co-workers, messaging friends, and in making phone calls.
With so many smart devices performing mission-critical functions and transferring exabytes, if not zettabytes of data, mobile platforms and their vulnerabilities have become prime targets for cyber-criminals. These malicious actors use cellular monitoring, intercepting, and data exfiltration techniques and run its entire spectrum of criminal activities all across the nation states.
