Mobile banking? Convenient. Secure? That’s where the conversation always comes in. These days, the threats are getting personal—right from the phone in your hand.
The Growing Cybersecurity Threats to Financial Apps
One alarming trend: in the Asia-Pacific region, deepfake attacks on banking systems surged a dizzying 1,530% from 2023 to 2024 ( Ref: promon.io). On top of that, Kaspersky reports a 3.6× increase in mobile banking malware and an 83% jump in crypto-phishing detections—banks were the most impersonated targets, accounting for 42.6% of phishing attempts (Ref: Kaspersky).
Even scarier? A new strain of malware called GodFather hijacks real banking apps within a hidden virtual overlay, so attackers watch your every move in genuine apps—but without your awareness (Ref: TechRadar).
