💡 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
SSRF attacks trick servers into making requests to internal resources that should not be publicly accessible. This can expose cloud metadata endpoints, internal APIs, and private network services, potentially leading to full infrastructure compromise.
💡 Mobile Malware Distribution
Mobile malware reaches devices through unofficial app stores, malicious links, and even occasionally through official stores using obfuscation techniques. Banking trojans, spyware, and ransomware variants specifically designed for mobile platforms continue to proliferate.
