A technique for determining the safety of the content of beacon transmissions. A user device extracts beacon identification information from a beacon transmission. The user device queries the beacon registry to obtain the targeted content. The user device provides the targeted content and beacon identification information to a validation service. The validation service evaluates the targeted content and the beacon identification information for safety. The validation service determines a score based on that evaluation and sends the score to the user device. The user device alerts the user or performs background actions such as suppression of transmission of beacon contextual data to other apps on user device based on the score.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for securing a mobile device are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a housing dimensioned to receive the mobile device. A secure storage is carried by the housing. A malware scanner is carried by the housing, and is to perform a first scan of an external electronic device to detect malware. A driver loader is carried by the housing, and is to mount a secure file transfer driver in response to the first scan not identifying malware on the external electronic device. A file handler is carried by the housing, and is to detect, using the secure file transfer driver, a file to be transferred intermediate the external electronic device and the mobile device. The malware scanner is to scan the file. The file handler is to quarantine the file in response to the malware scanner detecting malware in the file.

Assessing ransomware impact includes receiving an indication of a first plurality of files stored on a user device and a classification for each of the first plurality of files, determining a second plurality of files stored in a remote storage, wherein the second plurality of files corresponds to an indication of files stored on the user device at a first prior time, wherein each of the second plurality of files are associated with a second classification, determining a third plurality of files comprising files included in the first plurality of files and not included in the second plurality of files, and calculating a risk assessment based on classifications for each of the third plurality of files.
