Mobile users are often unaware of how vulnerable their smartphone can be. A regular mobile usage involves manipulating numerous corporate and personal data, installing apps, granting permissions, connecting to various networks, etc. But while all these can seem innocuous, common tasks and habits such as delaying an update or side-downloading an app actually come with risks.
Most online transactions require a two-step authentication, and the One-Time-Password (OTP) sent by SMS is often one of those two steps. The purpose of an OTP is to prevent fraud by confirming that the person making the transaction and the credit card owner are one and the same. To do so, a temporary code is automatically sent by SMS to the phone number associated with the bank account used.

It has emerged as the most reliable way for companies to keep away cyberthreats evolving within their distant and immediate environment.
