DEVELOPER TIP OF THE DAY - You may have heard about OWASP Top 10 Mobile App vulnerabilities. #2 on the list is "Inadequate Supply Chain Security". Here's a common scenario: - A hacker inserts a backdoor into a library and makes it available in various online communities and code repositories. - The library functions as advertised. The problem is, developers are unaware that a backdoor has been put into the compromised library, which can be exploited to establish unauthorized communication with the App once it's been published on an App store, allowing hackers to deploy any number of exploits without the App developer's knowledge. - The solution? Shield your mobile apps with layered security from a quality cybersecurity firm. Avoid free or open-sourced security tools that won't pass compliance regulations. Be sure your security vendor is ISO certified to ensure enterprise quality through and through. Enjoy your day!

300DaysCyberSec: CyberSecurity Update-#day256 🗓 Date-:22/10/2024 Mobile App Security Risks (Part 1) 📱🔐 Today, we’re diving into two critical mobile app security risks from the OWASP Top 10 list: 1️⃣ Improper Platform Usage: When apps misuse permissions, like requesting access to contacts or location without a valid reason, it can lead to privacy violations and the misuse of personal data. 2️⃣ Insecure Data Storage: This happens when sensitive information, such as passwords, isn’t securely stored. If not properly encrypted, it becomes an easy target for attackers to steal. These risks are crucial to address for secure app development. Tomorrow, we’ll explore two more! Stay tuned. 💪🔒 #cybersecurity #mobileapps #owasp #securityrisks #developers
