Hackers steal banking creds from iOS, Android users via PWA apps
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-steal-banking-creds-from-ios-android-users-via-pwa-apps/Hackers are exploiting progressive web apps (PWAs) to steal banking credentials from iOS and Android users.
The attackers create fake PWA-based login pages that resemble popular banking applications, tricking victims into entering their login details. Once the hackers obtain these credentials, they use them to access the victims' accounts and steal funds.
Users should be aware of this threat and exercise caution when accessing sensitive financial information through web apps.
In addition, users should verify the legitimacy of any PWA before logging in, as even PWAs can be duplicated and redirected by malicious actors, just like websites.
To stay safe, remain vigilant when interacting with web-based applications that handle your personal or financial data.
