Traditional security measures are often insufficient in the face of cyber threats. The recent discovery of a sophisticated phishing attack targeting mobile banking users underscores the need for advanced protection. Cybercriminals are now using deceptive web applications to bypass security on iOS and Android devices, aiming to steal login credentials. To combat these evolving tactics, businesses need a proactive defense like CyFlare’s Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (mEDR), a powerful tool in the fight against phishing attacks.
The Evolving Nature of Phishing Attacks:
This recent phishing attack involves a combination of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and WebAPKs—designed to mimic legitimate applications—to trick users into installing malicious software. PWAs and WebAPKs can be installed without raising the usual security alarms, posing a significant risk to unsuspecting users.
The attackers employed a multi-faceted approach, including automated voice calls, social media ads, and SMS messages, to spread links leading to these malicious apps. Once installed, these apps capture and transmit login credentials to the attackers’ servers.
