ABSTRACT:

Mobile networks, which connect billions of devices and allow for seamless communication on the go, have become an essential part of our daily lives. However, in order to maintain the privacy of mobile communications and data, there are substantial security issues that must be resolved.The increased reliance on mobile networks has made them attractive targets for hackers. A breach in the security of a mobile network can have serious repercussions, such as unauthorized access to confidential data, financial loss.  The aim of this research paper is to explore the various aspects of mobile network security and the specific threat landscape posed by phishing attacks. The paper will give insights about the techniques employed by attackers, the vulnerabilities in mobile networks that make them susceptible to phishing attacks and the potential consequences for individuals and organizations. By understanding the nature of phishing threats in mobile networks and adopting effective preventive measures, organizations and individuals can protect themselves against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
