Apple and its walled garden, aka the App Store, somehow let a sneaky app named “LassPass” (yup, not LastPass, but LassPass) slither its way through Apple’s defenses. The app, a doppelgänger of the legitimate LastPass password manager, was outed as a fraud and swiftly booted from the App Store. According to Ars Technica, Apple had to scramble to rectify this embarrassment, especially since they’ve been on a crusade to promote the App Store as the safest place on earth (or at least on the internet) for app downloads. LastPass themselves took to their blog to sound the alarm, warning users about the counterfeit app masquerading under their brand. The fake app even managed to snag a five-star rating on the App Store because why not add insult to injury? .stk-eda99a5{box-shadow:0 0 0 2px rgba(120,120,120,0.1) !important}.stk-eda99a5-container{background-color:#f3f3f3 !important}.stk-eda99a5-container:before{background-color:#f3f3f3 !important} .stk-fff85bd{margin-left:-20px !important}.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child{opacity:0.7 !important}.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-fff85bd .stk–svg-wrapper .stk–inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:var(–stk-global-color-56583,#911d9c) !important} .stk-75422ff{margin-left:-17px !important}.stk-75422ff .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;font-weight:300 !important;font-style:normal !important;font-family:”Golos Text”,Sans-serif !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-75422ff .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}}LastPass would like to alert our customers to a fraudulent app attempting to impersonate our LastPass app on the Apple App Store.
