“Apart from the server-side source-code, the leaked files also include a builder\u00a0that can un-pack the existing iBanking APK file and re-pack it with different configurations, essentially providing fraudsters with the means to create their own unique application,<\/i>” added\u00a0Daniel Cohen.\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In addition to SMS Sniffing<\/span>, the iBanking app allows an attacker to redirect calls to any pre-defined phone number, capture audio using the device’s microphone and steal other confidential data like call history log and the phone book contacts.\n<\/div>\n
