• Group Report: Make a brief report of your analysis. Include the chosen application,
significant findings, identified threats, and suggestions for improvements. Prepare a short

2. Data Security
• Are there any concerns about data leakage or unauthorized access?
3. Network Security
• What communication protocols are used by the application? (e.g., HTTPS, secure
data transfer). Does the application have any known vulnerabilities related to
network communication?
