    200 Android and iOS Apps Pose Threat to Bank Accounts and Personal Data

    200 Android and iOS Apps

    Reports suggest that over 203 dangerous Android and iOS apps are currently stealing from users’ bank accounts. The discovery of these apps was made by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) in Thailand and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The DES has alerted the public about these malicious apps on its official Facebook page, listing three main activities that these apps are committing. These activities include stealing personal information, draining users’ bank accounts, and taking remote control of infected smartphones to commit identity theft.

    200 Android and iOS Apps

    The DES and NCSC have not specified the type of malware these apps are spreading, but they have partnered with Google and Apple to ensure that these apps are removed from their respective stores. While both Google and Apple perform security checks before allowing any app on their stores, some apps always find ways of slipping in. As such, end-users are advised to perform their own checks, such as reading user reviews before installing any app on their phone.

     

    It is important to note that apps promising too much, such as free access to premium content like movies, sports, and more, always have a catch. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid downloading such apps.
