The OWASP Mobile Top 10 list is a great resource for app developers who want to create secure apps. That's because many mobile apps are inherently vulnerable to security risks. Let's think about some of the attacks on mobile apps that have occurred in the past few years.

There was the WhatsApp Pegasus spyware that enabled attackers to control victims' devices. Another was the attack on the Pokémon Go app, where users could reverse-engineer the app to catch more Pokémon.
Many other apps and organizations, such as Tinder and MediaTek, have fallen victim to mobile security attacks.

But what makes them so vulnerable? Mobile apps have a greater attack surface than web apps since the apps can be downloaded from public stores, and the code can be inspected.
