Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying and remediating malware-compromised mobile devices are disclosed. A computer-implemented method includes accessing, by a computing device, malware risk data; determining, by the computing device, a mobile device is at risk from malware based on the malware risk data; identifying, by the computing device, a set of connections of a user of the mobile device, wherein each connection in the set of connections is associated with a user computer device; identifying, by the computing device, at least one user computer device from the set of connections at risk from the malware; and outputting, by the computer device, a malware notification for the mobile device at risk and at least one user computer device at risk.
