This work talks about the phone’s small size, limitations, restricted resources and the way operating systems manage them. In addition to that, the human factor, users’s behaviour, their habits and the loss of focus are taken into the consideration. Moreover, it includes static, heuristic defensive measures, the disadvantages of automatic ones and usability and security evalution of user interface changing methods. The inferior design leads to more people being affected by the attacks. The improvements, such as an inclusion of sound recordings, pictures and the possibility to save them in the database, increased personal security signs method’s level of proficiency in defending against the phishing and promoted people’s awareness. |
