There is an exponential rise in the use of smartphones in government and private institutions due to business dependencies such as communication, virtual meetings, and access to global information. These smartphones are an attractive target for cybercriminals and are one of the leading causes of cyber espionage and sabotage. A large number of sophisticated malware attacks as well as advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been launched on smartphone users. These attacks are becoming significantly more complex, sophisticated, persistent, and undetected for extended periods. Traditionally, devices are targeted by exploiting a vulnerability in the operating system (OS) or device sensors. Nevertheless, there is a rise in APTs, side-channel attacks, sensor-based attacks, and attacks launched through the Google Play Store. Previous research contributions have lacked contemporary threats, and some have proven ineffective against the latest variants of the mobile operating system. In this paper, we conducted an extensive survey of papers over the last 15 years (2009–2023), covering vulnerabilities, contemporary threats, and corresponding defenses. The research highlights APTs, classifies malware variants, defines how sensors are exploited, visualizes multiple ways that side-channel attacks are launched, and provides a comprehensive list of malware families that spread through the Google Play Store. In addition, the research provides details on threat defense solutions, such as malware detection tools and techniques presented in the last decade. Finally, it highlights open issues and identifies the research gap that needs to be addressed to meet the challenges of next-generation smartphones.

“…Despite the employment of many mechanisms at the backend of the system to secure the personal and private data of users, malicious attackers may get access to the data through various methods. The most prevalent and significant attack is ransomware, which involves authorization and authentication on mobile devices (Wang, 2022). Though it is vital to keep data in storage and transit safe from malicious actors, establishing a safe and secure mechanism to access that data is also crucial (Seth et al, 2022).…”

This paper aims to propose a security solution for android users. Recently, there have been many cases of lost mobile devices since the advent of a new norm during the COVID-19 pandemic. This had impacted victims as it resulted in the loss of sensitive personal information. Therefore, the community must always take precautions to protect personal data from cases of data loss. With the increase in advanced technology, the ISY Mobile Crypt (IMC) application was developed. This mobile security application can store personal data, thus in the event of a device loss data can be compromised and restored. The IMC was developed by using the rapid application development (RAD) approach. The IMC can encrypt and decrypt data which can be obtained through Firebase. This application assists android users to increase their data security by converting plaintext to an alternative type of ciphertext. The IMC requires a key to store, encrypt and decrypt data. The application can benefit android users by keeping their data safe and accessible in the form of images and text. Without a set key no one can access their personal data if their phones are lost or stolen.
