Mobile phone users are far more vulnerable to phishing attacks than those accessing email and websites via a PC, according to new research.

The revelations come from Trusteer, who recently gained access to the log files of several web servers that were hosting phishing websites, the security firm said. Trusteer said that they were able to see how many users accessed the websites, when they visited them, whether they submitted their login information, and what devices they used.
