"It's been my experience that the banking and finance industry has been especially targeted by hackers the most. One of the biggest reasons is obviously financial gain. Hackers seem to find vulnerabilities within banking apps and exploit them. It's estimated that 85% of web apps that are tested have flaws that hackers were able to penetrate. Using apps on your mobile phone can be risky especially if you do any sort of financial transactions. As a company policy, we have implemented two-factor authentication for all our users. This has helped reduce hacking attempts within our corporate environment significantly. We also encourage our users to update their devices on a weekly basis too."

"I've seen cases where individuals get tricked into handing over (not literally) sensitive banking or other information that eventually gets forwarded to an attacker. Protecting my mobile phone from being hacked is very important to me because I know that it is more vulnerable than a desktop, laptop, or another mobile device.

The interviewer will ask you this question for two reasons. First, they are genuinely interested in the applications that tend to be hacked and want to see if their organization uses any of these. The second is to check your knowledge about cyber security and determine if you understand which are the most vulnerable applications. They expect you to know this and be able to describe your strategy for protecting these applications and the organization's entire IT infrastructure.
