Say goodbye to your money

Hackers know how to hack a bank account with the help of MITM. About 23% percent of applications, based on Android by means of which people use banking services were hacked.

Everything is a bit better with iOS, there are only 14 percent of apps. According to the research, hackers use such attack as Man-in-the-Middle in order to steal money. Theft happens during the information transfer from the sender to the recipient.

A client will be redirected to fake Wi-Fi knot. Everything will happen very quickly and unexpectedly. To achieve their insidious purposes, hackers set network equipment and create their own Wi-Fi. The difference in wireless network does not matter for you. The problem is that attackers obtain your data.

They can replace information in their own favor, and further redirect to bank. Then you can say goodbye to your money! Favorite places of malefactors are restaurants, cafes, airports, business centers and places with free-opened Wi-Fi.

Remember that it is extremely dangerous to perform financial operations in public wireless networks!

There are some main points that you should follow:

  • turn off automatic connection of a gadget to the open Wi-fi network;
  • use bank applications only in the protected networks;
  • don't use unlicensed or pirate applications, which have no confirmation in the bank. So, there is Google Play Market for the Android platform, and Apple App Store – for iOS.
OUR POINT
WiFi-networks have become an integral part of life. They are openly available almost everywhere for work or pleasure. Many of these networks are not protected as they should. Therefore, it  might lead to the fact that when you connect to the network, viruses and other malicious programs can penetrate into your device and steal your valuable information. Even more serious consequences might happen with the financial transactions. All SafeUM clients using our tariff plans, connected to the system using the protocol WSS (WebSocket Security). By using WSS, all the data transmitted from your device is encrypted throughout encrypted channel. Now, you can be sure that  no one can  decipher or intercept your data.
