Corporate executives and other high value employees traveling abroad need to be on guard for attempts to compromise their mobile devices, according to security researcher Justin Morehouse. Among the common attacks used against high value targets are SMS messages sent to the phones that contain links to Web pages that compromise the mobile device, he said. The likelihood of having your mobile device hacked overseas varies based on the country you are visiting, who you are, and how interested state- and non-state actors are in your work or your employer.
