Mobile Banking Apps For iOS Woefully Insecure

msm1267 writes "Mobile banking applications fall short on their use of encryption, validation of digital certificates and two-factor authentication, putting financial transactions at risk worldwide. An examination of 40 iOS mobile banking apps from 60 leading banks worldwide revealed a slew of security shortcomings that also included hard-coded development credentials discovered during a static analysis of app binaries. It's a mess, and to date, most of the banks have been informed and none have provided feedback indicating the vulnerabilities were patched."

The banking people made the glory of the 4 digit decimal PIN authentication a universal standard.
I am sure they know all about very secure systems and the public domain.

I'm shocked.
