Abstract: Mobile devices (smartphones or IoT devices) threats are all over and come in many ways. Nowadays the number of mobile devices is extremely high and we use them to cover many personal needs like ordering food, buying plane tickets, controlling our home from distance (using IoT devices) and so on. But all of this comes with a cost and that cost is that we have to give personal data to some devices which lead to threats. This paper contains a classification for the threats and vulnerabilities for smartphones and tablets and a short one for IoT devices. Here are described some attack scenarios for IoT and a few representative attacks. As method of research was used a qualitative one by documenting from articles related to this theme, reports realized by companies which operates in this field and other resources.
