Fraudulent mobile applications will threaten mobile banking security
"It's a dangerous new take on phishing: Instead of being directed to a fraudulent URL, the device owner will have voluntarily downloaded a malicious application from a reputable app store run by Google, Apple Inc., Research in Motion Limited, Palm Inc. and others. From there, the application can overtly collect personal and financial information entered by the mobile subscriber, or covertly collect names, addresses, and any other sensitive data that resides on the mobile device. While app stores are working hard to perform the necessary due diligence on applications, demand for offering the broadest range of applications to the widest audience of users may cause rogue programs to go unchecked. The problem threatens mobile banking security and is likely to get worse before it gets better for a number of reasons."
