Shopping apps that are manipulated by fraudsters and designed to be deceptively real are used to steal access names and passwords for online shopping sites, to steal credit card data and to shop through financial service providers for the account of the cheated. Shopping apps that are programmed for devices with the Android operating system are particularly at risk, as the apps offered in the corresponding app stores are not systematically checked for malware .
