How do phishing attacks exploit fake app downloads to distribute malware or steal data?
Phishing attacks exploit fake app downloads by tricking users into downloading malicious apps that appear legitimate. These fake apps may mimic popular services or applications to deceive users. Once installed, they can distribute malware, steal sensitive data, or compromise security by pretending to be legitimate and requesting personal information or permissions that they shouldn’t need. These malicious apps can then be used to steal credentials, financial information, or access personal data stored on the device.
