Malware Records Everything You Do on your iPhone
This short article points out that
how Apple iOS is not entirely far from security risk. Neal Hindocha, a Malware
security searcher, built a proof-of-concept ‘screenlogging’ malware that
monitors finger swipes on smart devices. This malware has a great potential in
collecting confidential and sensitive personal data such as screen lock pins
and passwords. The article states that the Malware works on Android and
jailbreak iOS devices. On the other hand, it doesn’t work on some Apple devices
if users install their devices with walled-garden software system. The downside
of the walled-garden program is that it enables apple to have control over its
user’s device which leaves the users with no privacy. I believe that Apple and
its competitors should priority security protection over the rush to get
products to market.
