Risks from Jailbroken & Rooted Devices

Mobile Banking Security Tips

 
Recently, the importance of securing Mobile Banking applications has become increasingly evident, particularly when using jailbroken or rooted devices.
Such devices can expose users to risks, including unauthorized access to personal information, PINs, or funds. To safeguard your accounts, we strongly recommend using secure devices and adhering to cybersecurity best practices.
 

What are “Jailbreak or Root”?

 
The process of modifying mobile phones or tablets that use iOS or Android to allow system modifying or install programs that are normally restricted.
Such programs or applications can access data and files on the device which might cause harmful events and loss.
