Can malware infect mobile devices?

### REPLY:
Malware can infect mobile devices by exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system or installed apps. For example, by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability, malware can gain root access to the device and install itself as a system-level app, making it difficult to detect and remove. Additionally, malware can spread through infected web pages or malicious links sent via SMS or messaging apps, allowing it to infect the device when the user interacts with the malicious content.
