The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a new warning about criminals making use of beta-testing apps to steal critical personal information of victims.
Beta-testing apps are services that allow for testing mobile apps before they are officially released. Such apps are usually not subject to the review processes of a mobile operating system. “Cyber-criminals are embedding malicious code in mobile beta-testing applications (apps) to defraud potential victims,” the FBI said in a public service announcement on Aug. 14.
