Description

Phishing is one of the most common types of
hostile internet attacks, which are on the rise on a daily
basis. Phishing is a deliberate act that uses deception to
trick unsuspecting individuals into disclosing their personal
information online. Phishing attacks change in size and
shape over time as they all have unique characteristics.
Therefore, this paper attempts to evaluate phishing attack
strategies on mobile device users by taking into account new
techniques such as phishing attacks on videoconferencing
services, SMS, voice calls, emails, and social media. The
study also carried out a survey with the use of a
questionnaire (via google form) to gather data from 122
mobile device users across Nigeria to elicit their awareness
and experience, as well as responses to phishing attacks.
The aim of this paper is to bring to light, phishing attacks
techniques targeted at mobile device users, to sensitize the
populace and provide information on how to avoid them.
