Protect Your Customers from Fraudulent Mobile Apps With Mobile Fraud Detection, Prevention & Protection
Why Do I Need Mobile App Security?
An increasing number of companies are providing their customers with the ability to use mobile applications (Apps) to access their online accounts. Mobile Apps are available from trusted stores (such as Apple’s iTunes, or Android’s Google Play), some not so trusted marketplaces, and also from websites on the internet.
Criminals are turning to the mobile space and producing mobile malware and fake or rogue mobile Apps. This can result in hijacked sessions, taking control of the mobile device, or man in the middle attacks.
A rogue mobile App for online accounts could simply allow the hacker to sit in the middle of the session, with the ability to divert funds for the user’s online account. Any online account App available from an unauthorised source should be considered malicious and treated as such.

Mobile Apps can be used maliciously and some contain malware. These can be used to:
- Send login credentials to a criminal
- Allow for browser sessions to be hijacked
- Take control of the mobile device, or
- Facilitate “man in the middle” attacks
The Costs of Unauthorised Mobile Apps
An unauthorised mobile app taking advantage of a well-known brand can:
