Ransomware
“Ransomware, banking malware, and other threats aimed at smartphones increased sharply in volume last year and will pose a growing threat to organizations and individuals in 2018 and beyond” I thinks this is because most of us respond a ransomware attack.

Android
“In keeping with past trends, a vast majority of the threats affected Android devices and those downloading mobile applications from unofficial third-party stores.” This is one of the disadvantages of closed system. iOS has it right in a way that onky approved things could be run

SLocker
“The most pervasive mobile ransomware in 2017 was SLocker” Surprisingly I have not heard this, maybe because I am not an Android user.

Banking
“With banking increasingly becoming an integral part of mobile device usage, attackers have begun building more-sophisticated capabilities into their mobile banking malware.” This is critical to pay attention I think. When I hits bank apps it will hurt a lot of people.

Two-factor
“to stay under the radar, steal more than just credit card data, and bypass security mechanisms” It is better to use two factor authentication and never click a link in the email to access to your bank.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
