- **Unsecured Third-Party Libraries:** Integration of insecure or outdated third-party libraries, introducing potential vulnerabilities into the mobile app.
- **Poorly Implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):** Inadequate implementation of MFA, allowing attackers to bypass additional authentication measures.
- **Supply Chain Attacks:** Compromising the security of a mobile app or API through vulnerabilities in its supply chain, including third-party services or components.
- **Social Engineering**: is a manipulation tactic that exploits human error to gain unauthorized access to private information, systems, or valuables. In cybercrime, it involves deceiving users into revealing data, spreading malware, or granting access to restricted systems.

## OWASP MAS Checklist

The **OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) Checklist** is a comprehensive guide to securing mobile apps against common security threats. The checklist will provide you with a detailed list of security best practices, including secure coding guidelines, secure data storage, secure communication, and secure authentication mechanisms, so if you are interested in increasing the security of the above points, this will be a good starting point.
You can find the OWASP MAS checklist here [here.](https://mas.owasp.org/checklists/)
