Many banks are implementing *Mobile Banking* by making their apps available on the various app stores. These apps can be downloaded by all the users irrespective whether or not they have any type of relationship with the banks or not. This enables malicious users to download the legitimate app, extract and modify its source and upload it back on the playstore. These types of tactics are used nowadays by many attackers for phishing purpose. In order to prevent misuse of the legitimate app, can any control implemented by Google force users to prove their legitimacy?
If currently this facility is not available can google take initiatives to implement such control may be as paid protection to the large banks for their apps? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
