Fintech and mobile banking cybersecurity risks

Overview

Security concerns regarding mobile financial services have been highlighted by industry leaders and experts. Shaibu Haruna, CEO of MobileMoney Fintech Limited, warned that cyber attacks on mobile money networks are “inevitable,” noting that the rapid evolution of fintech requires increased investment in security tools and AI-powered monitoring.

Further warnings from security experts indicate that mobile banking and digital services face growing threats from improper application permissions and software vulnerabilities. Malicious applications may exploit accessibility permissions to monitor screens and record passwords.
