LifeLock deletes its app and all user data due to security concerns

LifeLock announced in a blog post that the company’s Wallet app for Android and iOS may not be fully compliant with PCI security standards. Because of this, LifeLock has pulled the app—and set it to automatically delete users’ data the next time it’s opened. Talk about a thorough cleaning. On his blog, LifeLock CEO Todd Davis assured users that the company has found no evidence that user data was compromised. Still, the discovery that the app isn’t as secure as it could be drove the company to delete all the app’s user data from its servers, and take the unusual step of making the app self-destruct user data when it’s opened on a smartphone.
