Which APPs are your phone messaging functions authorized to? Avoid interception of TAC or OTP transferred.
Check which APP your mobile phone messaging feature is approved to for all users! Prevent the transfer of TAC or OTP from being intercepted!
The news that e-wallets or bank savings have been stolen has recently become the most popular topic on the Internet. Many victims said they did not get TAC or OTP verification text messages, but their funds were transferred to other accounts.
In most cases, the victim does not receive a TAC or OTP for transfer verification, yet the deposit can be stolen by the other party. Because the TAC or OTP has been intercepted, this is the case. The fraud syndicate will employ phone software (APP) to intercept consumers’ phone text messages, according to the authorities.
You may find out which APP is approved for your phone’s texting function by going to your phone’s settings. Then go to the application (APP) function, check the phone’s permissions, locate the phone text message function, and see which phone app has permission to access your text messages.
Some phone query permission functions are located in the “Security” function; to access the permission function, go to “Security.” Although each phone’s settings varies, it is safe to assume that every Android phone now has the ability to specify phone permissions.
You should also be cautious when installing mobile applications; do not grant programmes unnecessarily rights. For example, if you want to use a picture editing programme, you only need to give it permission to read and write to the phone’s storage. You should pay special attention if this software demands authorization for SMS, recording, call records, and so on.
You should also be careful when establishing the software’s permissions so that you don’t “unintentionally harm” other important software.
Many years ago, Maybank worked hard to promote the feature of replacing SMS TAC with Secure2u to limit the risk of SMS TAC being intercepted by other users.
