This warning was issued by the government about the following app.
Avoid the app

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) officials are urging federal employees to steer clear of a new third-party application that may be phishing for personal information about their TSP government retirement accounts.
A free iPhone app called TSP Funds, currently being offered through the Apple App store, asks TSP participants for their account login information. “This app is not being offered through the TSP and the TSP does not recommend using this application to access your TSP account,” said a TSP statement. “Providing this information could result in a security risk to your account.”
For employees who have downloaded TSP Funds, the Postal Service recommends deleting the app and changing the passwords to their TSP accounts.
The Government Executive’s app for iPhone and Android, which features a TSP ticker with up-to-date information on all TSP funds, does not ask for account information.
