Another set of fake banking apps has found its way into the official Google Play store. Claiming to increase the credit card limit for users of three Indian banks, the malicious apps phish for credit card details and internet banking credentials using bogus forms.

Meanwhile, the data entered into the bogus forms is sent in plain text to the attacker’s server. The listing of the stolen data on that server is accessible to anyone with the link, without requiring any authentication. For the victims, this amplifies the potential damage, since their sensitive data is not only at the attacker’s disposal, but potentially available to anyone who comes across it.

If you’ve installed and used any of these malicious apps, we advise you to uninstall them immediately. Check your bank account for suspicious activity and change your credit card pin code as well as your internet banking password.

i never would use any banking app, i would prefer browser with a decent filtering system (ads/scripts) and a VPN.

A prime example of why you should never fully trust Google Play store as well as have some sort of AV on your android device.
