Cybersecurity risks threaten mobile banking and digital services

Security experts are warning of increasing risks to mobile banking and digital services, such as e-Devlet, due to improper application permissions and software vulnerabilities. Malicious applications may request access to sensitive hardware and software features, including cameras, microphones, contacts, and location data, to steal financial information and verification codes.

A significant threat involves Accessibility permissions, which can allow malware to monitor screens remotely and record banking passwords. Additionally, unauthorized screen recording or reading permissions can enable spyware to capture sensitive data during login processes.

Furthermore, critical vulnerabilities in PHP, combined with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, pose a growing threat. AI can rapidly identify security flaws and generate attack code, often outpacing the ability of large institutions to implement necessary security patches. Experts emphasize that applying available security updates immediately is vital to protecting personal and institutional data.
