Researchers at a Silicon Valley security company said on Wednesday that they had found a new manner in which hackers can infect Apple products.

The company, Palo Alto Networks, reported that it had uncovered a malware campaign called WireLurker targeting Apple mobile and desktop users and said it was “the biggest in scale we have ever seen.”

Though the malware — malicious software designed to cause damage or steal information — is aimed at users in China and can be avoided, the campaign demonstrates new ways that attackers are targeting Apple iOS mobile devices.

 

Apple is currently patching the Rootpipe vulnerability, but it is not clear when the patch will be completed.

 

 

It should be noted that this only affects users who download apps from a third party app store in China.

I've seen several posts from you bashing on Apple, you need to sit down in a quiet room and reflect on your life. I can't see myself wasting my precious time bashing on a company I have no interest in.
