A fake password manager app was spotted in app stores. The fake app mimicked the real LastPass app with a similar design and description. The cybercriminals even copied a few reviews from the actual app to the fake one. The app was used to steal users’ credentials.
There were some signs that indicated the scam.
- The app name was misspelled.
- There were also very few ratings on the fake app.
The app has been taken down, but this story serves as an important reminder to check apps closely before downloading since cybercriminals will likely continue spoofing apps.
