The attackers go to all lengths of using the logo, brand color, images, hotlinks of web resources of your brand to make them look as similar as possible. It is really hard for a normal user to differentiate between the legit application and the rogue application, which makes them an easy prey for the cyber hunters.

Reputation Damage : When scammer’s scam people using your brand name, people might avoid using your brand, post reviews etc. which damages trust in your brand. Eg: e-commerce scamming
Financial Damage : It’s common for malicious apps to steal sensitive information (one-time passwords, credit card details, etc.) or financial resources that may otherwise benefit your business.
