What Digital Wallets Need to consider Regarding Authentication

Last weekend, I forgot my wallet as I took my daughter out to the mall. I realized this as we were in a cab halfway to our destination. A few years ago, this would have been a disaster, as retail financial transactions were only possible using cash or credit/debit cards.

Thankfully, I had my mobile phone with me. As long as I had an internet connection, I really didn’t need to actually have my physical wallet.

Most Mobile Authentication Apps Can be Breached, Even if Hardware Security is Used

New research by V-key shows that most apps used for mobile authentication have serious vulnerabilities, even if hardware security is used. V-Key has discovered a general flaw (named the “Trust Gap”) in these apps’ architectural design which hackers can exploit using malware to illegally obtain a target’s authenticator keys. This enables bad actors to make unauthorized transactions or sign bogus documents, opening up a digital service to account takeovers, data leakage, fraud or worse. This is an insidious and sophisticated attack as the targeted authentication app doesn’t even need to be running or be tampered with to be compromised.

Sim Swap Fraud

SIM swap scam (also known as SIM jacking, SIM splitting, or Port-Out scam) is a type of account takeover fraud that exploits the weakness in conventional methods of two-factor authentication/verification. More often than not, this attack is used for applications that require an OTP verification to be verified via an SMS text or via a call by the end-user.
