Insecure Communication

Weak communication protocols risk data interception. Secure apps with SSL/TLS, encrypt sensitive data before transmission, ensuring robust network security.

1

Data Breaches

This is a significant concern, as hackers can steal sensitive user information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal messages.

2

Weak Encryption

Lack of encryption or weak encryption exposes data to interception during transmission.

3

Insecure Data Storage

Storing app data improperly, without encryption or on unsecured servers, allows unauthorized access by individuals.

4

Insecure Authentication

Weak passwords, absence of multi-factor authentication, or vulnerabilities in login procedures facilitate easier access for attackers to user accounts.

5

Malicious Apps

Apps downloaded from untrusted sources may contain malware, compromising data security, tracking user activity, or disrupting device functionality.

6

Insecure Development Practices

Flawed code or insecure libraries can create vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to exploit weaknesses in applications.

7

Rooting/Jailbreaking

These practices enhance device functionality but can also bypass security measures, increasing susceptibility to attacks.

8

Overprivileged Apps

Apps with more access than they need to function can be a security risk if compromised.

9

Social Engineering

Phishing attacks deceive users into revealing personal information or downloading malware.
