Smartphones have been widely accepted by mass market users and enterprise users. However, the threats related to Smartphones have emerged. Smartphones carry substantial amounts of sensitive data. There have been successful attacks in the wild on jail broken phones. Therefore, smartphones need to be treated like a computer and have to be secured from all types of attacks. There is proof of concept attacks on Apple iOS and Google Android. This project aims to analyze some of the attacks on Smartphones and find possible solutions in order to defend the attacks. Thereby, this project is based on a proof of concept malware for testing antivirus software.

A cybersecurity expert and former Google privacy analyst's urgent call to protect devices and networks against malicious hackers​ New technologies have provided both incredible convenience and new threats. The same kinds of digital networks that allow you to hail a ride using your smartphone let power grid operators control a country's electricity--and these personal, corporate, and government systems are all vulnerable. In Ukraine, unknown hackers shut off electricity to nearly 230,000 people for six hours. North Korean hackers destroyed networks at Sony Pictures in retaliation for a film that mocked Kim Jong-un. And Russian cyberattackers leaked Democratic National Committee emails in an attempt to sway a U.S. presidential election. And yet despite such documented risks, government agencies, whose investigations and surveillance are stymied by encryption, push for a weakening of protections. In this accessible and riveting read, Susan Landau makes a compelling case for the need to secure our data, explaining how we must maintain cybersecurity in an insecure age.
