    The key thing missing is the URL and I would presume the hacker page wouldn’t have a 🔒 both things I would be looking at

      These are actually for fake banking apps - not the websites, it’s probably more of a concern with Android because of side-loading and how loose the play store is. Also the lock symbol is really easy to get - SSL/TLS is free (Let’s Encrypt) and doesn’t mean that the website is legit, it just means that what you’re seeing is actually www.veryrealcommonwealthbankpage.xyz, not the official Commonwealth Bank site and that all communication cannot be intercepted by a third party

      Not only that ‘missing the option to hide your password’ wtf. That’s the opposite of the eye icon.

      Absolute panic bait. 'Can you determine the legitimacy of these login pages for banks you don’t use based on incomplete data?? THEN YOU’RE IN DANGER!!!"

        Wow did you not read the article? This isn’t about a website login, it’s about fake hijacked login screens on apps which last I checked, don’t have URLs shown.
