MyOnePAS raises some serious security concerns. We suggest giving this e-wallet super app a pass for now.
Open to everyone and not just PAS members, users can even apply to obtain a companion MasterCard prepaid card to go with the app. Not only that, you can even use MyOnePas to make a donation to the party.
The political party is not exactly known to be at the forefront of the digital space, so the unveiling of the super app has certainly caught everyone by surprise. However, there is also another big reason why MyOnePAS suddenly became a topic of discussion among the public: the way it is being released to users.
Specifically, the super app was released as an APK file for Android devices on a website instead of being distributed through Google Play. Hence, this means the only way to have MyOnePAS on your Android device at the moment is through sideloading.As you may know, sideloading an app into your device is generally considered a security risk. This is because the app would not be checked against malicious codes and this may expose your device to malware.
This is even more critical for MyOnePAS since it has an e-wallet function which means it would be monitored by Bank Negara Malaysia . The irony is thatSome may argue that users are not downloading MyOnePAS from unknown sources since the APK file is hosted on a website created by the developer of the super app itself, PASPay Technology.
In line with the advice from BNM, we do recommend you just wait for the app to appear on both app marketplaces next month. This is to ensure that you didn’t accidentally turn on a setting that may expose your device to malicious apps and other security issues.
