“Threat actors will weaponize our mobile banking app, put it on a third-party site, and send an email with a link to it. Something I hadn’t heard of before. If I hadn’t hired Allure Security, those sites would be up.”
“Now I don’t worry about it. For the most part, it’s set it and forget it. Which is very good.”
“I think of Allure Security as an important layer in our security protection. Allure Security has helped us ensure our members are protected.”
Challenges Facing Brands Today from Rogue and Spoof Mobile Applications
Neglecting rogue and spoof application dangers
According to LexisNexis, 71% of human-initiated fraud occurs on mobile. Yet many brands fail to recognize the risk. Fraudsters will clone a brand’s app, install malware (e.g., mobile banking trojans), and trick users into downloading apps to steal credentials and money. Outdated, unauthorized versions of your mobile app also lack security updates and new features, leaving users vulnerable and open to malicious apps, which can undermine engagement and adoption.
Spoof apps hiding in hundreds of app stores
With hundreds of third-party marketplace app stores – and more coming as regulations push for more open app ecosystems – brands face a challenge. Scammers publish fake apps with malicious code, while outdated versions lacking the latest security updates or user experience linger online. Protecting your brand requires monitoring millions of apps across alternative marketplaces to detect and remove rogue mobile apps.
Inconsistent abuse reporting & takedown processes
Each of the hundreds of mobile app store operators set their own unique vetting and takedown policies making it easy for rogue apps to proliferate. Submitting and tracking myriad takedown requests consumes precious time from cybersecurity, marketing, and legal teams. Alternative marketplaces make it easy to publish fraudulent apps, but inconsistent vetting and response leave brands and their users vulnerable.

and Remove Rogue Apps

According to LexisNexis, mobile fraud rose at twice the rate of transaction fraud last year. Unauthorized versions of your mobile app, whether cloned and injected with malicious code or outdated and vulnerable to attack, put you and your users at risk. Rogue apps leave you and your users susceptible to account takeover and fraudulent transactions. A multi-layered approach to mitigate growing mobile fraud should include eliminating these risky apps.

Beyond just keyword matches, we identify your logo, messaging, app icons, and more to reduce alerts on apps unrelated to your organization. Instead of relying solely on indexed search results, we interrogate alternative mobile app stores thoroughly to find rogue versions of your app no matter where they hide and ensure they don’t resurface.
