People are becoming increasingly concerned about their security. They
use two-step authentication, login alerts, and third-party security
services to better protect their email and social media accounts. One
would hope for a similar -- if not more secure -- level of protection
from our banks. After all, this is the place where we put most of our
earnings and savings. However, apparently we are all mistaken. Mobile
security firm Appvigil is reporting
that as many as 70 percent of the top 100 mobile banking apps on the
Android operating system in the APAC region are vulnerable to security
attacks and data leaks.
