LifeLock security alert

LifeLock wallet application has been removed from Google & Apple app stores due to a realization that the application is not PCI DSS compliant.  All the user data has also been deleted. This is the email that was sent out around 8PM Eastern:

Dear LifeLock Wallet User,
You have received this email because you have previously downloaded the LifeLock Wallet app or its predecessor, Lemon Wallet.

We are writing to let you know that we have determined the app is not fully compliant with payment card industry (PCI) security standards, and we are taking immediate steps to correct this and ensure the ongoing safety of your personal information.

It’s important for you to know that we have no reason to believe your personal information, including credit card numbers and other data, has been compromised as a result of the PCI compliance issue.

As we move forward to bring the app into the highest levels of PCI compliance, we are deleting your stored personal data from our LifeLock servers. This does not affect your ability to use your credit cards or other information you have uploaded to LifeLock Wallet.

We’re working to return a fully PCI compliant LifeLock Wallet to you soon. Until then, we are removing the app from all app stores, including the Apple App Store, Google Play and the Amazon App Store.

We know that being without this application for a while is asking a lot of you. We apologize for the inconvenience. At the same time, we want you to know that we are taking all of these steps because we take your security and privacy very seriously.

When LifeLock Wallet is available again, rest assured that you can download it, provide your personal information and use it again with confidence—knowing that it’s backed by an industry leader that is committed to doing the right thing.

Sincerely,
The LifeLock Wallet team
