Projects/OWASP Mobile Security Project - Top Ten Mobile Risks
About this list
In 2013 we polled the industry for new vulnerability statistics in the field of mobile applications. What you see here is a result of that data and a representation of the mobile application threat landscape.
Our road-map for 2014 includes:
- More updates to the wiki content; including cross-linking to testing guides, more visual exercises, etc.
- A PDF release.
This list is still a work in progress. We are small group doing this work and could use more help! If you are interested, please contact one of the project leads.
