It’s a bit like working out the combination on a lock that protects a vault. In turn it could lead attacks targeting both the phone and the bank’s server. An attacker could certainly gain a good understanding of how the banking app is architected and the server infrastructure.

In short, these vulnerabilities could allow hackers to intercept sensitive data, install malware and even take control of someone’s smartphone.

Clearly, if some links aren’t encrypted an attacker could intercept the data and inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML code to create a fake login prompt or similar scam.

90% of the banking apps contained several non-SSL links throughout the application.

UIWebView is a Safari developer component that allows developers to embed web content into their apps. JavaScript injection is process in which JavaScript code is inserted into a web page by either entering the code into the address bar or by finding vulnerability such as UIWebView implementations. In some cases, native iOS functionality was exposed so an attacker could send SMS or emails from the phone.

50% of the apps are vulnerable to JavaScript injections via insecure UIWebView implementations.

However, the attacker is controlling the conversation. A man in the middle attack is a form of active eavesdropping in which the attacker makes connections between the user and the bank and effectively relays messages between them making them believe they are talking directly to each other over a private connection. They are typically used to secure credit card transactions, data transfers and logins. When installed on a web server it allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. SSL certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organisation’s details. This makes them susceptible to man in the middle attacks.

40% of the audited apps didn’t validate the authenticity of SSL certificates that are presented during the transaction.

And here are some of the troubling findings: The research assessed 40 home banking apps from some of the world’s top banks for the iPhone and iPads.

An alarming piece of research from IOActive Research dug into security around banking apps for the iPhone. There’s a mounting body of evidence that suggests cracks are appearing in iPhone security – many originating from the app developer side. With 300 million iPhone’s in use and increasing numbers of people flocking to mobile banking and online shopping with their smart phones a digital honey pot is being created. Sorry to break the bad news though because this is changing. IPhone users might have good reason to feel a bit smug – they’re toting a device that seems water tight.

Kevin McNamee, security architect and director of telco giant Alcatel-Lucent's security labs, goes straight to the heart of the matter when he says: "Malware and cyber security threats continue to be a growing problem for home networks and mobile devices, particularly for Android smartphones and tablets which are increasingly targeted." Unsurprisingly the number of breaches on the Android platform is growing.

In contrast, Android apps often come from unknown sources and some have been designed by hackers to look like something they’re not. All apps must be scanned and verified to ensure they’re not harbouring malicious code or hiding Trojan viruses. That’s because Apple has a strict policy when apps go into its app store for sale. There have been very few high profile breaches. One of the great things about the iPhone, when compared to Android devices, is that security has generally never been an issue.

According to ABI Research the total number of smart phones in use today tops out at 1.4 billion when you add in BlackBerry and the Windows Phone. However, Android phones – think Samsung Galaxy, HTC 1, Google Nexus, Motorola Droid and so on – lead the way with almost 800 million in use. But think of it in terms of the population of the US which is just over 300 million, or five times the total number of people in the UK, and you get a better sense of how insanely popular these funky, snazzy smart phones are. It’s a difficult number to get your ahead around because it’s just too large. There are a whopping 300 million iPhones in active use today.
