Hackers can use malicious apps to break into their banking accounts. In this method, hackers create a duplicate copy of a legitimate banking app and upload it to third-party app stores. Once downloaded, the app sends the username and password to the creator.

2. App Hijacking

In this method, a hacker creates a fake trojan-filled banking app. When installed, it sits silently in the background and scans your phone for a banking app. When it detects a banking app, it shows a fake window that looks identical to the legitimate banking app and drives you to the login page.
