Zimperium, the world pioneer in mobile security, highlighted the growing threat of mobile bots operating inside trusted apps. These bots represent a new form of automation that bypasses traditional defences, such as CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and MFA, making them nearly impossible to distinguish from legitimate users and enabling fraud at scale.
Unlike web-driven bots that flood networks with suspicious traffic, mobile bots run on the client side, inside the app itself. By exploiting APIs, sessions, and app logic, they blend seamlessly with real user behaviour, leaving backend servers to interpret every action as genuine.
