On facing this fast-moving world every bit of the world is leading by technology. Mobile phones are the major part of our day to day life. Mobile platforms are said to be the hardware and software environment for laptops, tablets, smartphones and also for other portable devices.

Phishing is a most popular attack and it gets targeted mostly at financial organizations. It is a type of online theft where the sensitive information is obtained by redirecting the victim to malicious websites. This chapter discusses about Phishing attacks in Mobile Platforms.
