Apple iPhone users usually consider their phones as impregnable fortresses that Apple has built for them: iPhones are often said to be secure and safe, especially when compared to Android devices. Yes, iPhones are really\u00a0more secure<\/i>\u00a0than Android phones, but that doesn\u2019t mean that they are\u00a0totally secure<\/i>. You know, there are no fortresses that can not be conquered.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve\u00a0already covered<\/a>\u00a0not\u00a0just one<\/a>\u00a0but several nasty\u00a0iOS threats<\/a>\u00a0and gave\u00a0some advice on securing your Apple gadgets<\/a>. However malware for iOS continues to emerge and the most recent sample\u00a0discovered by Palo Alto Networks<\/a>\u00a0seems to be one of the most dangerous so far.<\/p>\n Why? Because it neither requires your iOS device to be jailbroken nor it uses some stolen corporate certificate to install malicious software. The new malware family is called AceDeciever and it is capable of infecting pretty much\u00a0any<\/b>\u00a0iOS device.<\/p>\n Everything started with someone\u2019s novel idea not to pay for what they want to get. In this case it was a method to pirate iOS apps called FairPlay Man-in-the-Middle attack. We won\u2019t spend much time here explaining the concept of Man-in-the-Middle attacks \u2014 you can learn about them from a\u00a0dedicated post here<\/a>. And here we\u2019d rather focus on what FairPlay is and how AceDeciever actually works.<\/p>\n Trojan Exploits Apple DRM Flaw, Plants #Malware<\/a> On Non-Jailbroken #iOS<\/a> Devices: https:\/\/t.co\/n5MHIRbOn7<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/SluytGnjmJ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kaspersky (@kaspersky) March 16, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe rather good intentions<\/h3>\n
