Mobile Devices Can Provide Lucrative Back Door Into Businesses for Cyber Thieves
How many people in the U.S. own a smartphone? Well, according to Statista the smartphone penetration rate in the U.S. has increased each year, reaching an overall figure of 85% percent for 2021. It may not be an accurate figure, but one thing's for sure: Smartphone ownership in the U.S. is almost a given, which means there are many millions of devices being used day in, day out.

Throw into the mix advanced camera and microphone technology and you begin to understand the potential for disaster.
