About Mobile Hacking Village
Smartphones have been an integral part of our daily lives globally for over a decade, influencing how we pay, travel, order food, manage health care, work, and much more. On the other hand, mobile cyberattacks are increasing annually, with incidents reaching approximately 5.4 million globally by the end of 2023.
Our mission is to increase security awareness by creating a strong community that can rapidly share knowledge in a decentralized manner, through every possible way and platform, utilizing innovative ideas. Our approach involves hosting a series of short workshops, capture the flag (CTF) competitions, and presentations about the latest trends in mobile security, along with various demonstrations.
Mobile Hacking Village can be the gateway to this vision, operating as a portal for all enthusiasts and experts, allowing them to take the knowledge shared and further expand on it to create a better version for the rest of the community.
