Vishing, or "voice phishing," scams and telephone oriented attack delivery, or "T.O.A.D.," scams are each a type of social engineering attack where attackers use phone calls to trick mobile end users into providing sensitive information or performing harmful actions. In these vishing scams, the attacker poses as a trustworthy entity, such as the fraud department of a bank or consumer brand, and uses various psychological tactics to pressure and manipulate the victim. Appdome uses behavioral analysis to detect when the mobile end users’ activity in a mobile app (or its workflows) coincides with a potentially malicious phone call.

Impersonation scams can involve the attacker posing as technical support and ask the victim to download remote access and control software, like TeamViewer, onto the victim's mobile device. Once installed, the attacker gains complete control over a victim's mobile device and uses the remote access app to steal data, gather credentials to perform Account Takeovers (ATOS) in the victim's mobile accounts. Appdome’s Anti Remote Desktop Control detects and blocks third-party applications attempting remote control of a protected mobile application to keep mobile apps, users, data and credentials safe at all times.

Some social engineering attacks, such as Gold PickAxe and Gold Digger, trick mobile end users into installing super user, device admin, or mobile device management (MDM) profiles onto their mobile devices. The victim may be told they need to install the package "for their protection" after or during being contacted by an imposter. Once installed, attackers gain control over the device (e.g. control the camera, microphone, keyboard), allowing them to steal images, intercept biometric login, and spy on users before launching a social engineering attack or to make the attack more convincing. Appdome identifies when these intrusive profiles are installed on a mobile device or interact with a protected mobile app.

Mobile spyware is a potent tool in social engineering attacks. Armed with the data obtained through spyware, attackers can craft highly convincing social engineering attacks tailored to the victim's interests, behaviors, or relationships. For example, they may use knowledge of the victim's recent mobile purchases to create fake order confirmation texts or use details from mobile app usage to impersonate a brand in follow up messages and vishing attacks. Appdome detects spyware as it tries to collect information from a victim's mobile app, including login credentials, in-app history, keystrokes, and more to eliminate any advantage attackers may have using spyware.

Romance scams are sophisticated social engineering attacks that typically involve fake profiles, location and interactions to exploit the victim's emotions. Once the victim falls for the attacker, the attacker requests money or personal information to help with medical emergencies, travel expenses, or financial hardships. These attacks are typically launched at scale using automated environments and can be supported or generated using AI chatbots. Appdome detects the automated environments, fake accounts, fake location and fake events in mobile apps to stop the fraudster's romance scamming operations.

Mobile applications receive, process, transmit and store data throughout the lifecycle of use by mobile consumers and employees alike. An attacker can use all kinds on-device attacks and compromises such as jailbreak, root, hacking tools, or Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks as part of a strategy to gather data on mobile end users before launching, or as part of, a social engineering attack. It's critical to protect PII, PHI, PCI and other sensitive data at rest and in-transit between the mobile application and its back end service or network. Appdome provides a fully-automated platform for mobile app security to keep data-at-rest and data-in-transit secure at all times.

SIM swapping is a type of social engineering attack targeting mobile phone users. In a SIM swapping attack, the attacker convinces the victim's mobile carrier to transfer the phone number to a new SIM card the attacker controls. With control over the victim's phone number, the attacker can reset passwords, receive authentication codes (MFA passcodes, OTP tokens), and perform an Account Takeover (ATO) attack. 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.

Facial recognition bypass is a form of Account Takeover (ATO) attack. It occurs when an unauthorized individual finds a way to circumvent the facial recognition used in a mobile app,, gaining access to the device or app without the legitimate user's permission. There are many mechanisms for spoofing images, such as 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.
