Smartphones and Tablets are very popular nowadays; other than playing around the apps, most of us use the mobile devices to browse web pages. People usually look for convenient and quick browsing without paying much attention to security settings like anti-phishing or anti-xss filtering. Thus, special attention must be paid to the end-user's web security when they use mobile devices (mainly on iOS and Android Platforms). For example, how easily phishing can be done in mobile devices; what is the impact of visiting websites with XSS; what information can be stolen from victims or to manipulate the sessions; how the crafted URLs can trick the mobile browsers; and what can be done to secure web browsing in mobile devices. This paper aims at helping the industry to make secured mobile browsing and guarding software as well as at increasing awareness of the growing number of mobile device users for safe browsing.
