Why Mobile Users Are Bigger Phishing Targets, and What Devs Can Do
Why smaller screens, truncated URLs, and public Wi-Fi make mobile users bigger phishing targets - and the MFA, UI, AI-detection, and education steps developers can take.
Tips, tutorials, and insights on responsive design, cross-device testing, and web development.
Why smaller screens, truncated URLs, and public Wi-Fi make mobile users bigger phishing targets - and the MFA, UI, AI-detection, and education steps developers can take.
The security risks WebViews introduce inside mobile apps - untrusted content, MITM, session leakage - and the coding and runtime best practices that lock them down.
Why mobile web security isn't just desktop security shrunk down - the small-screen threats (phishing, MITM, drive-by installs), UI design pitfalls, and the defenses that address them.
Why npm dependencies carry real security risk, how to audit them with npm audit, Snyk, and Retire.js, and the strategies that mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
Why hardcoding secrets in client-side code leaks them, and the layered approach - backend intermediaries, scoped tokens, env-var discipline, and monitoring - that keeps API keys and credentials safe.
The two foundational pillars of API security - authentication (API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS) and rate limiting - with best practices for implementing both.
How clickjacking (UI redress) attacks work, why the X-Frame-Options header still matters alongside CSP frame-ancestors, and how to implement a layered defense.
The SPA-specific security risks that React, Angular, and Vue defaults don't cover - insecure APIs, token storage, client-side logic exposure - and the practices that close the gaps.
