Silent Intrusions: The Rise of Targeted Attacks on Mobile Platforms

Mobile platforms have become a primary target for sophisticated cyber threats, with attackers leveraging zero-click exploits, spyware, and supply chain compromises to infiltrate high-value targets. As these threats continue to evolve, understanding their mechanics and impact is crucial for both researchers and security practitioners.
We will analyze the latest targeted attacks on mobile environments, focusing on zero-click exploits, cyber-espionage operations, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) against iOS and Android devices. We will explore real-world attack chains, discuss emerging techniques used by threat actors, and evaluate current detection and mitigation strategies.
Attendees will gain insights into:
• The evolution of mobile APTs and their operational tactics
• Zero-click and zero-day vulnerabilities in iOS and Android
• Advanced spyware and cyber-surveillance techniques
• Supply chain compromises affecting mobile ecosystems
• Effective threat intelligence, forensics, and defense strategies
