In 2022, [[NSO Group]] was reportedly selling zero-click exploits to governments for breaking into individuals' phones.<ref>{{cite news |journal=Insurance Journal |url=https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2022/02/18/654917.htm |title=Beware of 'Zero-Click' Hacks That Exploit Security Flaws in Phones' Operating Systems |author=Ryan Gallagher |date=February 18, 2022}}</ref>
For mobile devices, the National Security Agency (NSA) points out that timely updating of software and applications, avoiding public network connections, and turn the device Off and On at least once a week can mitigate the threat of zero-click attacks. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Why you should power off your phone once a week - according to the NSA |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-you-should-power-off-your-phone-once-a-week-according-to-the-nsa/ |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=ZDNET |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Telework and Mobile Security Guidance |url=https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Telework-and-Mobile-Security-Guidance/ |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=www.nsa.gov}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Winder |first=Davey |title=NSA Warns iPhone And Android Users To Turn It Off And On Again |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/06/01/nsa-warns-iphone--android-users-to-turn-it-off-and-on-again/ |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref>Experts say that protection practices for traditional endpoints are also applicable to mobile devices; many exploits exist only in memory, not in files. Theoretically, restarting the device can wipe malware payloads from memory, forcing attackers back to the beginning of the attack chain. <ref name="zdnet25021801">{{Cite web |title=Why rebooting your phone daily is your best defense against zero-click attacks |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-rebooting-your-phone-daily-is-your-best-defense-against-zero-click-attacks/ |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=ZDNET |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Craig |date=2020-01-10 |title=Exploit Chain - CyberHoot Cyber Library |url=https://cyberhoot.com/cybrary/exploit-chain/ |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=CyberHoot |language=en-US}}</ref>
