There was a 37 percent increase worldwide in enterprise mobile phishing encounter rate between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, according to Lookout.

The report also shows that unmitigated mobile phishing threats could cost organizations with 10,000 mobile devices as much as $35 million per incident, and up to $150 million for organizations with 50,000 mobile devices.

Mobile devices make it harder to spot tell-tale signs of a phishing link.

With mobile devices, phishing risks no longer simply hide in email, but in SMS, messaging apps, and social media platforms.

With a smaller form factor and simplified user experience, mobile devices also make it harder to spot the tell-tale signs of a phishing link - enabling a higher success rate for the cybercriminals attacking mobile compared to desktop devices.
