Last summer, the FBI warned of an increase in malicious activity targeting mobile financial services as mobile banking activity surged in response to COVID-19 and associated lock-downs.

But is building trust in the mobile channel really that simple? And what can financial institutions (FIs) do to prevent fraudsters from abusing this trust with malware, account takeovers, identity theft, and other types of fraud?
