You really think everyone is going to visit the Bank of America site first? People will simply Google "BofA app for droid" ... then they may land on an unauthorized phishing app.
- theandym 17y agoI agree completely. How long will it be before there are many competing apps with the same branding? For instance, you may soon have 5 different Bank of America apps, and consumers who are less discerning have a 4 in 5 chance of selecting the wrong, malicious app. Perhaps the best way to combat this is taking the approach that Twitter has and "verifying" accounts. Otherwise certain industries chance at thriving in the Android app community could be compromised.
