A password manager LastPass calls fraudulent booted from App Store
As Apple has stepped up its promotion of its App Store as a safer and more trustworthy source of apps, its operators scrambled Thursday to correct a major threat to that narrative: a listing that password manager maker LastPass said was a "fraudulent app impersonating" its brand.
Somehow, Apple's app vetting process-long vaunted even though Apple has provided few specifics-failed to spot the LastPass lookalike. Apple removed LassPass Thursday morning, two days, LastPass said, after it flagged the
app to Apple and one day after warning its users the app was fraudulent.
"We are raising this to our customers' attention to avoid potential
confusion and/or loss of personal data," LastPass Senior Principal Intelligence Analyst Mike Kosak wrote.
A LastPass representative said the company learned of the app on Tuesday
and focused its efforts on getting it removed rather than analyzing its behavior. Company officials don't have information about precisely what LassPass did when it was installed or when it first appeared in the App Store.
Apple representatives didn't respond to an email asking questions about the incident or its vetting process or policies.

When you get an app like LastPass or 1Password you are likewise putting
full faith into those developers. These two are well known, legitimate,
safe apps. (I use the latter but am weening off of it for other reasons).

I would never use any of these apps. Storing passwords online just seems incredibly foolish to me.
My passwords look random, but they have meaning to me and are easy to remember. I have no need for online password storage.

As long as one guards the password to that file (and that password is
not guessable) it is perfectly safe to store it online.

Nobody could deny this app easily slipped through Apple's checks and
nobody could deny it took Apple too long to react (at least if you ask
the people whose rather sensitive credit card & password data was
apparently already stolen in that interim where Apple was moribund,
according to LastPass).
But on the topic of whether or not it's a good idea to store your
sensitive passwords on an online database which could ask for your
credit card information, there are always going to be pros and cons to
the equation.
Many love online password programs, some of which automatically enter passwords when you attempt a login to a given company (which is nice).
Online passwords are nice for a few other reasons, one of which is you
can't lose them if you lose your device. Another reason online passwords
are nice is all your devices access them anywhere (as long as you have Internet access anyways). There's also the advantage of automatic sync
with all your devices if you happen to have added a new password from one.
But for every pro, there's a con that has to be weighed against it.
The main negative that this malware app took advantage of by stealing people's credit card information and their passwords (most likely) is in
the fact people are paying for the service using their credit cards and
they are using real names & real phone numbers & real addresses.
Instantly, that's crossing the red line when it comes to basic privacy
and security on the Internet.

Again you don't understand what happened. No surprise.
The app in question would pass all of the Apple "checks" as it is not designed as malware per se, but as an imposter - social engineering to
be more clear.
This is a security issue only because the imposter co. has no earned credibility. So the app will behave correctly, but you have no idea if
the app is actually not giving up the data to the creator of the product.
LastPass and 1Password have earned trust in this domain. Otherwise they
are no more "safer" than the imposter co. except by earned reputation:
they do not "look into" the data they guard for you. (Claimed and not
found to be not so).
For every app on the app store there are a few to a few dozen similar
apps with similar names and similar logos. They are "good" in the sense
they meet Apple's security requirements.
This imposter app is no
different. We just don't know if, "under the hood" it is violating the
trust that such apps (password managers) require.

Otherwise, Apple wouldn't have removed it after investigating it for days.

You said it passed through Apple's checks. Quite right. Of
course it did, because it was not malware per se. It is
imposter ware, perhaps, and there is no way Apple could control
for that.
Lastpass did __not__ say the imposter was malware, by the way.
As explained elsewhere, when one trusts Lastpass or 1Password
to be a password locker manager, one is putting full faith in
their reputations - fact is, if they wanted, they could be
sucking all the data out of your "locker" along with the
decrypt key and use it maliciously.
Fortunately they have instead earned the trust of millions of
users to use their products as reliable purpose made apps.
As to the imposter ware, it is malware free as far as anyone
knows, but nobody has tested it sufficiently to see if it is
trustworthy.
Now I expect the above is confusing to you, because you are

You're not addressing the issue which is that Apple brags about testing
apps & yet Apple clearly doesn't test for even the simplest of things.

I understand that you attack the messenger because you don't like that
while Apple brags on and on about how great they are at testing apps, the proof shows that Apple doesn't ever test them for fraudulent activity.
What matters is you lied

Actually, what matters for billions of people who use the Apple App Store
is that Apple lied that they vet the apps for safety (since they don't).

Nothing you've posted so far provides any support for that claim.
Nothing, Arlen.

Finally you agree
Nope, you lied.
Act like an adult and people won't wonder about your age.
Weak lies and childish deflection

In this case, you're attacking me because you hate Apple lied to you about testing apps in the App Store - which is why you're defending Apple's complete lack of testing by claiming you only care about malware and not about fraudulent apps that steal your confidential credit-card data.

You hate that Apple didn't test for the most basic tests anyone should do.
So you lash out at me - simply for explaining what Apple doesn't deny.
