With this evolution comes an increased vulnerability to cyber threats. \\n\\nOur research showed that half of mobile users face scam attempts daily, and two-thirds admit it\u2019s difficult to spot the difference between a scam and the real thing. \\n\\nThe consequences can be serious: 52% of scam victims experienced financial loss or fraud, and 27% lost access to important accounts, devices, or files. \\n\\nThere’s no doubt that people should be protecting their mobile devices in the same way they protect their computers.\\n\\nSpeaking about the award, our founder and CEO Marcin Kleczynski said:\\n\\n\\u003e \u201cAt Malwarebytes, we know that mobile threats are constantly evolving\u2014and so are we. Independent certifications like the MRG Effitas 360\u00b0 Certificate aren\u2019t just badges; they\u2019re proof of our relentless focus on security, innovation, and protecting real people against real threats.\u201d \\n\\nMRG Effitas’ Android 360\u00b0 certification requires a 99% effectiveness rate, making it one of the most challenging benchmarks for mobile protection. MRG Effitas tests a variety of real-life scenarios and in-the-wild pieces of malware, like SMS payments, banking trojans and spyware, alongside benign samples to test for false positives. \\n\\nChris Pickard, CEO of MRG Effitas, commented:\\n\\n\\u003e \u201cThere are no participation trophies with this test; it’s a real achievement. Malwarebytes mobile security stood out in our real-world scenarios, confirming its ability to stop and block dangerous mobile threats.\u201d \\n\\nWe believe in earning trust the right way, with real-world results and transparent testing. That\u2019s why we regularly engage with respected labs like MRG Effitas and AVLab. \\n\\nRecently, Malwarebytes Premium Security was also awarded the May 2025 AVLab Seal of Excellence for outstanding performance in its Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test. \\n\\nBut we\u2019re not stopping there. We\u2019re constantly looking at new ways to protect you while using your mobile devices.
