"Fake LastPass Password Manager Spotted on Apple’s App Store"

LastPass has recently warned that a fake copy of its app is being distributed on the Apple App Store, likely used as a phishing app to steal users' credentials.  The company noted that the fake app uses a similar name to the genuine app, a similar icon, and a red-themed interface made to appear close to the brand's authentic design.  However, the fake app's name is "LassPass," instead of "LastPass," and it has a publisher named "Parvati Patel." In addition, there's only a single rating (the real app has over 52 thousand), with only four reviews that warn about it being fake.  Security researchers noted that the same developer has another app on the App Store that seems legitimate, so the possibility of their account having been hijacked by malicious actors cannot be ruled out.  LastPass stated that if you have installed the fake LastPass app, you should immediately remove it and change your password at lastpass.com.  It is then advised to perform the arduous task of resetting all passwords stored in your LastPass vault to be safe.
