These are actually for fake banking apps - not the websites, it's probably more of a concern with Android because of side-loading and how loose the play store is. Also the lock symbol is really easy to get - SSL/TLS is free (Let's Encrypt) and doesn't mean that the website is legit, it just means that what you're seeing is actually www.veryrealcommonwealthbankpage.xyz, not the official Commonwealth Bank site and that all communication cannot be intercepted by a third party
