‎Why we need this?‎

Rather ask yourself this question why do you need personal security testing?

Today's information flow is brisk. We must enter our personal information in order to ‎use a simple photo editing app. While giving them our personal information we oversee ‎the need and purpose of such information. This gives the attacker what they need. ‎INFORMATION! To be exploited. ‎

For example, when you install a photo editing app, it will ask for access to your contacts ‎and phone. Have you ever wondered why? Why is it necessary for a photo application to ‎have access to your contacts?‎

For hackers, our ignorance is bliss! They easily gain access to our phones as a result of ‎this, and we have no idea how the attack occurred.‎‎

Scenario

Mr. Mehta (real name changed) is a government college lecturer. He purchased ‎something from an online store. He received a call from the company a few seconds later, ‎asking him to give the OTP, which he did. His bank account was immediately deducted for ‎Rs. 20,000. When he didn't receive the purchased item a few days later, he became upset. ‎He made a phone call to the firm. He went over the situation in detail. On account of ‎helping him they said he’ll get an OTP during the call and he’d have to share it. He ‎followed suit, and Rs. 30,000 was deducted from his bank account. He tried calling the ‎numbers again, but no one answered this time. Mr. Mehta was at a loss of Rs. 50,000 and ‎was feeling cheated and frustrated.
