Abstract: The research literature on awareness, knowledge, and ability of mobile security of young mobile phone users was reviewed in this article. The existing literature suggests that young mobile phone users are usually not aware of potential mobile security issues when using a mobile phone. Young mobile phone users are often found to lack the knowledge to detect mobile security problems and to defend themselves in the mobile world. Empirical evidence also exists in which some users do not have the mobile security ability to safely use their mobile phones. Overall, it is vital that young users improve their awareness, knowledge, and ability of mobile security so that they can effectively and enjoyably use their mobile phones.
