For more than a year, mobile browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari failed to show any phishing warnings to users, according to a research paper published this week.
“We identified a gaping hole in the protection of top mobile web browsers,” the research team said.
“Shockingly, mobile Chrome, Safari, and Firefox failed to show any blacklist warnings between mid-2017 and late 2018 despite the presence of security settings that implied blacklist protection.”
The issue only impacted mobile browsers that sued the Google Safe Browsing link blacklisting technology.
