And why do these then work on desktop computer without checks like: Do you have the latest (windows) update installed? Do you have an Antivirus installed, which we approve of? etc.
(I'm not referring to Snapchat but the banking things here)
It seems to me that they never cared when on desktops and suddenly on mobiles there are all these problems.
On the desktop so far they haven't had a way to ensure that, beyond Apple and Microsoft sandboxing attempts, while on mobile the sandbox mechanisms are guaranteed unless one has an unofficial OS.
They can't really check most of that stuff on desktop, as they are restricted to run inside the browser. That said, I'm sure some tried with ActiveX crap and such.
