The holiday season has officially kicked off, which means a number of things for many of us: seasonal cheer, quality time with loved ones, and admittedly for many, lots and lots of shopping. And these days, many of holiday retail sales are happening online. Unfortunately, that also means now more than ever, there\u2019s more holiday-related cybercrime about. In the latest news, \u2018tis the season for fake retail mobile apps<\/a>, designed by cybercrooks to prey on seasonal gift-buyers.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of devious apps<\/a> have appeared in Apple\u2019s App Store, masquerading as the official versions by retailers people know and trust. Imagine an unsuspecting user, trying to score a jacket they\u2019ve had their eye on for months, downloading an app from a retailer likely to sell it. They\u2019re then hit with a special offer of a malicious kind \u2014 and they won\u2019t be giving thanks.<\/p>\n

Next, any number of consequences can occur. A plethora of fake apps, made by different cybercriminals, is circulating\u2014so there\u2019s a range of profiteering tactics out there. Some merely serve annoying pop-up ads. But other situations can be more severe. For example, credit card information could accidentally be sent to a cyber crook posing as a retailer. And what if you mistakenly authorize a phony app with your Facebook account? Hopefully you haven\u2019t given away permissions to your account, but at the least, your Facebook is likely on some rogue\u2019s list of accounts to run tricks on later. Worst case scenario, these fake apps could actually operate in the background of your device, actively stealing data wherever you may enter it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s already a bad situation, but then consider how easily people can fall victim. The stores being imitated are recognized and popular<\/a> \u2014 Dollar Tree, Foot Locker, Dillard\u2019s, Nordstrom, Zappos.com, Christian Dior, and many others. So the chances are high that cyber crooks will get their sought-after downloads. There\u2019s also the fact that, for someone caught up in the drama of holiday shopping, consumers won\u2019t necessarily be inspecting every store\u2019s mobile interface and ratings for legitimacy.<\/p>\n

Now to be fair, Apple has already eliminated many malicious apps from the App Store since major news outlets began reporting on this issue. However, it\u2019s worth noting that ill-intentioned developers behind these fake apps are capable of putting new ones up<\/a> in the App Store. Chris Mason of Branding Brand, an app building and analytics company, even described the whole process as \u201ca game of whack-a-mole.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019s quite possible the threats will continue to surface, and users will need to be vigilant to avoid them.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the holidays are precious \u2014 they\u2019re a time for celebration. The good news is that we can certainly still enjoy them, even when shopping on mobile. By making sure to use the right safety precautions, everyone can keep the coming months positive and festive. After all, this time of year is all about appreciation, quality time, and admittedly for a lot of us, the best seasonal sales!<\/p>\n

Tips to Shop Safely<\/h2>\n

So remember these tips for shopping safely on your mobile device:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Review before you download.<\/strong> How much time do you spend researching an app before you tap \u2018download\u2019? Just take a moment, and see if an app is the official version. Scan the official app store for potential alternatives, read the reviews, and don\u2019t download until you\u2019re absolutely sure it\u2019s legitimate. Having your own, strict vetting process will keep you from downloading malicious apps to begin with.<\/li>\n
  2. Be careful what information you give.<\/strong> When installing an app, your mobile device may need to grant it certain permissions. And as you use the app, further steps may prompt additional permissions requests, or even Facebook account authorization. Don\u2019t grant any permissions that seem unnecessary, and think twice before opening the gates to your personal data through other apps and services on your device. Remember: you can also check existing apps\u2019 permissions in your phone\u2019s settings, to monitor the level of information you\u2019re providing to different services.<\/li>\n
  3. See something suspicious? Act on it.<\/strong> If you spot a peculiar detail or flaw, that should raise some red flags. For example, the Boston Globe reported that a New Balance imitator had a page saying \u201cour angents are available over the hone Monday-Firday<\/em>.\u201d Hardly any legitimate company would make such flagrant spelling mistakes. Take these seriously, and report suspicious apps when you see them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And, of course, stay on top of the latest consumer and mobile security threats by\u00a0following me<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0@McAfee<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
