While Apple’s cohesive and uniform operating system is lauded as one of its biggest assets, there is a downside to Apple releasing an update to the masses all at once.
Having installed the malware, Smarter hackers could go even deeper into the phone, to the “kernel” of the operating system, and take full control of the device.
This attack is stealthy, as little to no user interaction is required, and the malware remains dormant until an eventual reboot of the device.
“It triggers immediately”, Dowd told iDigitalTimes. Thankfully, there’s a way you can skirt this problem, but you’ll need your computer and iTunes.
A major bug has been detected in Apple’s iOS through which attackers can overwrite files and insert a signed app on a target device, which will then be fooled into trusting with no prompt to the actual user, according to ThreatPost.
Dowd says that a potential hacker could silently scout for iPhone users with Airdrop enabled within Bluetooth range-say, in a crowded place like a train or mall-and start planting malicious programs on their phones or Macbooks.
