Hi, I’ve been using GlassWire to keep an eye on outgoing connections, and I noticed something that doesn’t quite make sense to me.
Whenever I try to check my account balance for my National Bank of Abu Dhabi account using their mobile app, GlassWire shows a burst of connections to multiple endpoints. I expected it to connect to the bank’s server only, but it looks like there are additional domains involved, some of which I don’t recognize.
I also tried checking my balance using another method, like logging in through the web browser instead of the app, and the network activity pattern looks different there. That made me wonder if the app is doing extra background calls or if this is normal behavior for banking apps.
I’m not sure if this is something to be concerned about or just standard app behavior these days. Has anyone here monitored similar activity when using banking apps to check balance, or can someone explain why there would be multiple connections just for a simple balance check?
