Mobile threats target large enterprise companies

A new report from security companies Check Point and Lacoon Mobile Security have found that mobile remote access Trojan (mRAT) are on the rise.

The companies found that 60 percent of the infections were Android and 40 percent iOS. They also determined that the malware consisted of 20 variants and 18 different mobile remote access Trojan (mRAT) families.

It finds that enterprise employees are increasingly targeted by mRATs, risking sensitive data found from emails, messages, keystrokes, calls, employee locations and more. They further found that infected corporations are twice as likely to be infected by mRATs. If there are 2,000 devices or more in an organization, there is a 50 percent chance that it will have infections within the enterprise network.

There's a summary of the findings in infographic form below.
