The bank is urging people to be vigilant and know the signs of potential fraudulent activity.
Barclays is warning people in the UK to be vigilant of a "harmful" mobile phone malware scam that most people are unaware they're at risk of.
Mobile malware is harmful software that can spy on and control devices. It can steal information, change device settings, and access features including people's banking app. Further demonstrating the lack of awareness around malware, Barclays found nearly a third of consumers "wrongly believe" their phone's security system will automatically protect them from mobile malware.
"With full access to your phone, these harmful apps present you with fake login screens, scrape your phone for private information, and even spy on or control your activity on other apps. Therefore it's important that you're ultra cautious when installing anything on your phone." For further protection, she suggested using two-factor authentication for key apps and installing anti-virus software, advising consumers to "Research what's available before choosing one."
