Very misleading title. I thought she scanned the QR and got scammed. That's impossible.
It is because she downloaded and installed a malware app lah.

The bank app is identified exclusively to your phone and there is no such a thing as remotely taking over your mobile
It is not a desktop, even then, there is OTP, that decisively breaks any MITM attacks
