How to Protect Android Apps Against Panda
What is Panda?
Panda is an Android banking trojan targeting users globally. It spreads through malicious apps and phishing links, often masquerading as legitimate applications. Once installed, it steals sensitive financial information, including login credentials and credit card details, through overlay attacks and SMS interception. By creating fake overlay screens and intercepting SMS messages, Panda deceives users into entering their credentials and captures two-factor authentication codes. Its primary goals are financial fraud and identity theft, enabling unauthorized access to bank accounts and other sensitive data.
Protecting Android apps against Panda is crucial to prevent financial fraud and identity theft, as it can steal sensitive information like login credentials and credit card details. Ensuring app security helps safeguard users’ personal and financial data from malicious attacks.
