Mobile phone applications are convenient tools for
people to complete different tasks. Besides, it’s easy to install and use when
you have a smartphone. In India, the police of Tumakuru had launched a mobile
app to the public so people can use this app to report incidents online and get responses immediately. Although it brings benefit to the public but still have some
criminal use the police app to hack people’s bank account by entering their
phone number in the police app make a false report and get the victim duplicate
SIM so the victim would not receive any alert message of money transaction.
Therefore the victim money was transferred to the criminal account without and
notice. There are some people misuse the mobile apps for crime action when it’s
convenient to all users. To solve this issue the police department must discuss
with the technical team to improve the app secure. (Gowhar, 2016)
