Smartphone Risk

Millions of smartphones are vulnerable to attack over your Wi-Fi connection. An attacker can, and will, take control of your Android or Apple device.

Attackers with high skills can also deploy malicious code to take full control over your device and install malicious apps like banking Trojans, ransomware, and adware without your knowledge.

Both Google and Apple have released updates.
