Fraudsters bypass identity checks altogether by compromising runtime environments, targeting APIs, or exploiting device vulnerabilities, often without ever touching credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest misconception in mobile app security today is: If the login is secure, the app is secure.

Compromised Devices:<br><\/strong>A secure app on a rooted or jailbroken device is vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Malicious keyboard overlays, screen sharing, and unsafe environments open hidden backdoors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
