Attackers use credential stuffing for account takeovers by automating login attempts with stolen credentials on mobile apps. They exploit reused passwords, employing bots, IP rotation, and CAPTCHA bypass methods to evade detection and gain unauthorized access to user accounts. Appdome MobileBOT Defense identifies and blocks malicious bots, ensuring that only legitimate apps and users can connect to the backend. This prevents malicious bots from successfully executing credential-stuffing attacks and protects user accounts from being compromised.

Attackers use mobile spyware to perform account takeover attacks by secretly monitoring users' activities, capturing sensitive information like credentials. The spyware records keystrokes, screenshots, or network traffic, allowing fraudsters to access mobile app accounts without triggering security alerts. Appdome detects spyware as it attempts to harvest information from an app, like login credentials and in-app history, and when it uses the stolen information in attacks, such as keyloggers or overlay malware, eliminating any advantage attackers may have.

GoldPickaxe malware exploits MDM profiles for account takeover attacks on mobile apps by tricking victims into installing malicious MDM profiles under the guise of legitimate services. Once installed, the MDM grants attackers control over the device, allowing them to collect credentials, intercept SMS messages, and bypass biometric authentication, leading to unauthorized access to financial accounts. Appdome detects when these intrusive profiles are installed on a mobile device or interact with a protected mobile app, providing crucial defenses against such threats.

Remote Access Trojans (RATs) are used for account takeover attacks by gaining stealth control of a device. RATs capture keystrokes, steal credentials, and monitor app activities, enabling attackers to bypass authentication measures and take over accounts without user knowledge. Appdome ATO prevention features detect and block RAT malware by preventing unauthorized remote access and control. With real-time threat detection and anti-tampering measures, Appdome ensures that your app remains secure, preventing malicious actors from compromising your mobile app and users.

SIM swap is used for account takeover by fraudulently transferring a victim's phone number to their own SIM card. This allows attackers to intercept SMS-based authentication codes, bypass two-factor authentication, and gain unauthorized access to mobile app accounts, particularly banking or social media apps. Appdome detects when an attacker uses the protected mobile app with a replacement SIM card and exits the app or passes the attack data to the mobile app for threat handling.

Facial recognition bypass is a form of ATO fraud that occurs when an attacker uses deep-fake techniques to circumvent the facial recognition used in a mobile app, gaining unauthorized access. Mechanisms for spoofing images include intercepting and modifying the camera preview data from other apps while the preview shown to the user remains unchanged. Appdome detects when an attacker or malware attempts to spoof, fake or bypass biometric (facial) recognition in Android and iOS apps.

Attackers use Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) and Device-in-the-Middle (DIT) attacks for account takeovers by intercepting communication between mobile apps and servers. They capture sensitive data like login credentials and authentication tokens, allowing them to impersonate the victim and gain unauthorized access to mobile app accounts. Appdome protects against MITM and DIT attacks by encrypting app communications with strong, end-to-end encryption protocols, ensuring data is securely transmitted between devices and servers. Additionally, Appdome applies certificate pinning and anti-tampering technologies to detect and block unauthorized interceptions of app data.

Accessibility malware is used for account takeovers by exploiting accessibility services on mobile devices to gain control over user interactions. The malware can read on-screen data, capture login credentials, and automate actions like entering passwords or approving transactions, bypassing security mechanisms undetected. Appdome Accessibility Malware Prevention detects and blocks accessibility malware as well as abusive permissions typically used by such malware. Coupled with anti-tampering, keylogger prevention, and other protections, this ensures only legitimate apps use accessibility services for their intended purpose.

RDC malware attacks work by remotely accessing the victim's mobile device. Once installed, RDC malware grants attackers control over the device, allowing them to manipulate apps, steal login credentials, and bypass authentication mechanisms to take over accounts undetected. Appdome’s ATO prevention solutions block such threats by restricting unauthorized RDC access and preventing malicious screen sharing and more. This ensures that only legitimate interactions can occur within the app and safeguards the integrity and use of your mobile app.

Theft of PII is at the heart of account takeover attacks. Attackers use many schemes to exploit device and mobile app weaknesses that lead to the capture sensitive details like usernames, passwords, and financial information, enabling them to impersonate victims and gain unauthorized access to their accounts, bypassing security checks. Appdome ensures personal data is encrypted at rest, in memory, and in transit. And encryption is just one set of more than 300+ defenses to protect mobile brands and their end users from account takeover attacks.
