How Malicious Clone Apps Work
Scammers upload fake clients of popular password managers to third-party app stores and search ad networks. Upon entering data, the app sends your master key and imported logins to a hacker C2 server.
Rules for Verifying Password Managers
- Download apps only from official developer websites or trusted repositories.
- Verify that the app uses Zero-Knowledge architecture, where encryption happens entirely on your device.
- Choose open-source password managers with independent security audits.
